10 Reasons to Own a Verse Hooded Cowl
Winter is coming! Cozy season is creeping up on us and it’s time to gear up for those brisk, chilly days. Our Verse Hooded Cowl is our favorite winter accessory and the best addition to a winter wardrobe that you can have, and we’ll tell you why! Without further adieu, 10 reasons you should own an Akinz Verse Hooded Cowl….
#1 Turn Any Sweater Into a Hoodie!
Personally, I love anything that can be versatile to the rest of my wardrobe and still be functional at the same time. More outfit combos? Yes please! If I’m rocking a sweater in the winter time you will always find me wearing one of our Hooded Cowls with it! I can flip the hood up if I’m walking around outside and flip it down when I’m toasty indoors. The best part? I don’t have to constantly battle taking it on and off for it to serve its purpose.
#2 Soooooo Many Colors!
What’s a fun accessory without fun color options to choose from?!?! We have more color options for our Verse Hooded Cowl than we’ve ever had before with a whopping 13 colors available. To top it off, we are always happy to make a custom hood for you in any color you want if we don’t have a color that speaks to you! You can even make your drawstring a different color if you really want to get funky with it.
#3 Wear It With a Helmet!
Outdoor adventures don’t stop when it starts to get chilly. From skiing to winter mountain biking, our Verse Hooded Cowl can be your adventure buddy! Being made with 100% Acrylic yarn, our hoods can be stretched over your helmet and then tossed in the washer after a fun day of shredding that gnar. Only we have to warn you….people WILL stop you on the mountain to ask about your rad knitted hood ;)
#4 Go-To For Unpredictable Weather
Here in good ol Colorado especially, the weather likes to keep us on our toes. Sunny one minute, windy and rainy the next. You need a staple piece that has your back at all times, a ride or die if you will. Our Verse Hoods can be made small and compact - stash it and bring it on the go for those moments when the weather is bipolar.
#5 Scarf and Beanie
Scarf or a beanie? Hmmmm...Why settle for one when you can have both?! Kill two birds with one stone- keep it simple with one piece that does it all! The drawstring in our Hooded Cowl makes it easy to tighten and make it cozy around your face. Just like you would bundle up in a scarf, but bringing warmth to the rest of your head at the same time :)
#6 It Makes You Feel Whimsy
Put on one of our Verse Hoods and tell me it doesn't make you feel like a magical wood elf or mysterious folklore character. I dare you. Who couldn't use the little extra feeling of whimsy in their day to day lives? Throw on your hood and discover your next side quest!
#7 Hat Hair? Who’s She?
Everyone can relate to the feeling of doubt when you're about to take a hat off after wearing it for hours and not knowing if you're gonna look like you got in a fight with a wind tunnel. Made with warm but lightweight acrylic yarn, our hoods won't give your hairstyle’s evil twin a chance to come out ;)
#8 Fashionable and Functional
Sometimes it feels like you have to choose between feeling cute and feeling comfortable. Winter accessories that get both jobs done are important but can be far and few between. However, beauty doesn't have to equal pain! You want to be protected from the elements but don't want to be self conscious when Mom asks for 10 million photos of the family ski trip or when that one friend decides to have an outdoor wedding at the end of October. Our hoods can provide a pop of color and be a classy core accessory while also keeping you nice and warm!
#9 Costume in a Pinch
You know those pieces in your closet that somehow always come in handy when you need to throw a costume together? Well, we have another one for you to add to the collection. Our fierce owner and founder, Suzanne, once wore all black with a black hood for Halloween and decided she could be all of the following: Dark Elf, Dementor from Harry Potter, Ringwraith from Lord of the Rings, an Assassin, a witch, the Grim Reaper, Palpatine, the ghost of Christmas future….the list goes on. Need we say more?
#10 You Don't Need a Reason
Our final reason to own a verse hooded cowl is that they are simply awesome. If you are still looking for a good reason that'll convince you to buy one…then look no further. You don't need a reason to buy yourself a cool, cozy, handmade hood. Treat yo self! You're an adult! Money is a construct!
