1. Classic Fedora and Cloche Hats

Traditionally made from wool felt or fur felt, this is an ideal hat for cooler, crisper weather. Though typically associated with men’s fashion,women’s fedoras have come into their own and can add a sharp, stylish look to one’s wardrobe. For fashionable ladies, we also recommend the cloche, an elegantly chic way to dress up an outfit, with warm materials such as velour fur and wool.

The ivy cap has many names — flat cap, golf cap, duckbill cap, driving cap - and it’s similar to a newsboy cap, except that it’s flat at the top.

In recent times, these caps have grown in popularity and in stature, with finer materials used that made them more upscale and fashionable. Today you’ll find the ivy cap in wool tweeds, herringbone, plaid, pinstripes, wool blends, cashmere and even leather. All of these are wonderful materials for cold weather, and the stiff brim at the front offers sun protection.
