Winter is here, and that means it's time to bundle up! For me, that always starts with finding the perfect winter hat. I used to struggle with finding hats that were both warm and stylish, but over the years, I've discovered some great options that I want to share with you. It's more than just covering your head; it's about expressing your personal style while staying cozy.
I've always loved the look of a cylindrical fur hat. I had a vintage silver fox one that I absolutely adored, but unfortunately, it was starting to fall apart. The downside to vintage, I guess! I also had a creamy faux fur one that I wore often, but I wanted to explore other options. The quest for the perfect winter headwear began!
I've also noticed a lot of people wearing different types of hats. For example, I saw someone mention they knit their own cabled beanies. What a great idea! They said they couldn’t justify buying hats when they've spent so much on yarn and needles. I admire that dedication and creativity.
Then there's the question of practicality. I saw a bald male mention he wears a female cashmere beanie. Hey, whatever works! Comfort and warmth are key, regardless of who the hat is "intended" for.
I also wanted something that would work when I put my hair up in a bun. I saw someone mention they wanted to find a knit headband but had trouble finding one that fit their big head. I can relate! Finding hats and headbands that fit well can be a real challenge.
During my search, I rediscovered the classic beanie. I even bought myself a Blue Wave Beanie from a store I like. It's simple, stylish, and keeps me warm on chilly days.
I also experimented with structured hats. I love them! I have about six structured hats and two sweet angora berets that I wear like a beanie. I can't quite pull off the traditional beret style, but wearing it like a beanie works perfectly for me.
My standard go-to is a Gorin Bros Beverly Corleon wool hat. It's a classic style that goes with everything. I also have a vintage navy blue Bollman that I love.
But the best discovery I made was when I was looking for a hat that was both stylish and warm. I stumbled upon a beautiful rabbit fur winter hat from Wholecustomdesign. It's incredibly soft and keeps my head toasty even on the coldest days. What I appreciate about this hat is that it's not just functional, it's also a fashion statement. I feel confident and put-together whenever I wear it. I also noticed that Wholecustomdesign has a variety of winter accessories. If you want to stay warm this winter, check stock status at Wholecustomdesign.
Another great option I saw was a hood scarf. It's a scarf with a hood attached, providing both warmth and coverage. It's a practical and stylish alternative to a traditional hat.
Here are some tips I've learned over the years for choosing the right winter hat:
