Grabbing a beanie when you’re heading out into cold winter is super convenient. But winter headwear doesn’t just have to be practical – they can be stylish as well. The right hat can elevate your outfit, add texture, character and elegance, all while keeping you warm.
Here are some winter hats worth investing in this winter.
The classic wool beret
There’s nothing quite as effortlessly sophisticated as the beret. Wear it slightly tilted or traditionally – a wool beret can invoke Parisian charm when wearing coats, tailored blazers or knitwear. Opt for shades such cream, charcoal, camel or burgundy for some versatility.
The elevated beanie
This is where you can play with style and material to transform an ordinary accessory to a showstopper. Look for cashmere, merino wool or ribbed knit fabrics with very minimal branding. To pair with almost every winter outfit, choose neutral colours like black, oatmeal, and soft grey.
The wide-brim felt hat
A structured hat remains a popular choice for women who like timeless dressing. It offers protection from the winter sun, but also gives a polished finish to long coats, scarves and ankle boots. A structured silhouette works particularly well for smart-casual events.
The baker boy cap
The baker boy cap adds some vintage flair and it’s perfect for women who like a slightly tailored look. Wool, tweed and herringbone fabrics work well with leather jackets and trench coats.
Faux fur bucket hats
This trend makes a gorgeous statement for winter. It’s soft, cosy and oh-so fashionable, and they bring texture to monochrome outfits. They look especially chic when paired with tailored outerwear and oversized knitwear.
Don’t forget the details
Pay attention to the quality of the fabric. Natural fibres such as wool and cashmere provide great insulation but still remains breathable. You want a hat that won’t leave pressure marks, and that coordinates with your scarf and gloves for a cohesive look.
The bottom line
The ideal winter hat is not just a practical accessory. It can be an elegant finishing touch that rounds off your cold-weather dressing.
