Style Guide: Women’s Hats for Warmth

A go-to for casual activities such as shopping, running errands or being outdoors is a knit hat. The material of a knit hat can be made from cotton or wool and the construction allows it to remain snug to your head, typically covering both your head and ears in order to maximize warmth. A knit hat can come in a variety of styles such as the slouch beanie, a headband or a turban-like beanie that may feature fashion forward details.

A cloche hat in a modern style can be the perfect accessory for staying warm in cold months while also retaining the spirit of fashion and style. Cloche hats are typically fitted close to one’s head and in the winter months they can be made from warm fabrics such as wool. A light wool cloche is an ideal outfit topper for breezy or cold days. A water repellant cloche is perfect for days where rain or snow is imminent and one trimmed in faux fur will shield you from wind and chill.

A fedora is classic hat choice that has grown in popularity over the years and has been spotted on fashion trend setters such as Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie. A fedora is the perfect winter-weather accessory thanks to their close to the head hat body and brim which can shield your face from wind and rain alike. Two styles designed for maxim warmth are the wool asymmetrical fedora and the fur felt fedora. A wool asymmetrical fedora will add a touch of sophistication to your look while being fully lined and made of warm wool. The fur felt fedora is perfect for very cold temperatures thanks to its construction, a felt body lined with the soft under-fur of rabbit or beaver, and materials, which are naturally water repellant.

Adding a beret to your hat wardrobe will add an instant Parisian feel to your look and owning a wool beret is the perfect winter hat staple. This classic wool tam is made from 100% wool. It features enough slack in the crown to give you a versatile look while covering the crown of your head and keeping you warm through the winter months.
