One of the reasons Nicole never seems to have a bad hair day (ever) is her reliance on knit caps. To fight the cold weather or hide post-workout hair, she throws on one of her many cozy beanies.

Nicole's preference for the earthy '70s styles is no secret, but you'll never see this fashionista carrying a canvas tote.
