PSA: It’s beanie season – Polygon

Polygon’s official beanie has arrived! So let’s take this moment to celebrate this special seasonal tradition.

You know it’s become fall when the leaves change, the apple cider flows at the farmer’s market, and the smell of artificial pumpkin lingers in every coffee shop. But there’s one annual marker of autumn time that doesn’t get enough credit: the switch from baseball cap to beanie.

Don’t trust us: true icons know the value of a good beanie:

The beanie is a great alternative to a winter jacket with a hood when daylight starts becoming scarce and the chill in the air. Thus, the beanie provides more comfort than protection from the elements — a cozy bit of warmth.

To help with your beanie needs, Polygon’s merch shop now offers four different beanies in olive, crimson, navy, and black.
