As the colder months approached, I found myself in need of a new hat—but not just any ordinary one. I wanted something with personality. That's when I chose the Daisy Knitted Winter Hat, which boasts a trendy Kpop streetwear aesthetic with its floral embroidery. It claims to provide ample warmth and accommodate head sizes ranging from 56 to 60 centimeters.
After three months of regular use, here's a detailed account of how this ski beanie performed in chilly conditions, through washes, and in everyday situations.
The delivery was prompt. Upon unboxing, I was immediately drawn to the beige hue—it's soft and not at all yellowish, unlike some lower-quality beige products. The fabric felt plush and, most importantly, wasn't itchy. That's a big plus for me, as I can't stand wool that irritates the skin.
The floral embroidery is centered neatly, with no stray threads in sight—a common issue with embroidered items. I tried it on immediately, and the fit was just right: snug without being constricting. It covered my ears effortlessly, without any tugging required.
Verdict: The overall quality exceeded my expectations for the price. I was initially doubtful about the embroidery, but it looks crisp and well-made.
I wore the hat throughout the week, whether walking the dog or running errands. With temperatures around 40°F (4°C) most mornings, it kept my head comfortably warm. My main concern was whether it would ride up, a common problem with cheaper beanies.
Thankfully, this one stayed in place without constant readjustment. The fit around the forehead was pleasant, and it didn't leave any noticeable red marks even after hours of wear.
