4 Trendy Hat Styles We're Expecting Everyone to Wear This Winter
In a time when many of us are leaning toward more basic and comfortable dressing, accessories are key. Whether it's a fun necklace or a loud pair of socks, any touch of additional flair to an outfit is very much appreciated. While I could talk about all kinds of accessories for a very long time, today's topic of discussion is one of my favorites: hats. And as winter is slowly approaching, there are some styles that have carried their way over from the warmer months and some that have been reinvented for the new season ahead.
This wouldn't be a Who What Wear story if we didn't inform of you the trends you'll be seeing this season, so ahead you'll find four hat styles that we're adding to our wardrobes right now, and we even shopped them out for you so you can add a few to your collection. Keep scrolling to find your new go-to winter accessory.
Faux-Fur Hat
Fuzzy jackets and slippers aren't enough; your winter wardrobe needs a furry hat, too. Not only is the trend extremely cozy, but it adds a fun pop to any outfit.
Pillbox Hat
We've seen pillbox hats worn throughout history, but brands such as Alaïa and Altuzarra have brought the look back into the fashion zeitgeist.
Shop the trend:
Baseball Cap
Whether it's taking notes from Saint Laurent's latest runway or our desire to copy Princess Diana's iconic favorite casual accessory, we're not letting go of this sporty style anytime soon.
Beanie
How could we forget beanies? The laid-back hat style is our go-to for keeping warm, and this season we've been seeing a lot more fun colorways to add a bold statement in your winter wear.
