This winter, say goodbye to the beanie hat, and welcome in a stylish (but just as comfortable) alternative. 

 

Winter has arrived and it’s time to start prepping for the cold. You can lose a lot of your body heat through your head. So choosing the right hat is a practical decision. However, it’s also an opportunity to spice up your winter look. So, you have an important question to ask yourself: Do you go back to your old go-to beanie this season, or do you mix it up and try a new type of winter hat? If you’re ready to branch out, you came to the right place. So, gather around and get ready to learn about all the ways you can improve your look and stay warm with fashionable and functional winter hats. 

The Winter Hat Types To Try This Winter

It’s time to distinguish yourself from the masses and look “beyond the beanie.” There’s a whole array of winter hats to choose from that can elevate your look, keep you warm, and help you resist the elements. No matter what you’re looking for, there is a winter hat type for you that will help you stay warm and turn heads. Whether you’re looking for an outdoorsy hat for your winter adventures, a chic accent to your city look, or a go-to practical option, we have you covered. 

Material Matters

When you’re choosing your winter hat, make sure to consider the material. Nothing beats the heat-retaining qualities of wool, which is why we recommend choosing a wool hat for your winter outings. The best hats for winter offer warmth, quality materials, and impeccable style. Our favorite styles for this season are berets, floppy hats, and outback hats. 

Winter Styles We Love

Berets are a classic and fun addition to your winter wardrobe. There’s just something about their dreamy, classic look that can’t be beaten. They offer all the comfort and packability of a beanie hat. But they’ll instantly elevate your look in a way no beanie can. 

If you’re looking for a winter hat with a brim, look no further than the fedora. Fedoras have been popular for decades, and for good reason. They offer timeless sophistication. And, can be paired with almost any outfit. Transitioning from summer fedoras to winter fedoras just requires a shift in fabric. Think wool, leather, or even suede. 

For a hat that can keep up with your rugged outdoor pursuits this winter, try an outback hat. These are the “jack of all trades” of the hat world. More compact than a cowboy hat but just as durable, outback hats have a useful medium-length brim that’ll keep the snow and rain off your face.

2. Talk about upgrading your beanie! This French Beret is the perfect hat to add class and refinement to your look this winter. Not only is this beret a sophisticated accessory, but it is also functional. Wool can react to fluctuations in your body temperature because of tiny air pockets that circulate heat. As a result, wool hats will keep you warm when your body is cold, and cool when it's hot. The French Beret is the iconic winter hat style for women.
