One accessory we can’t live without during the cold months is a winter hat. Beanie or beret, knitted or fleece, this simple addition can quite literally be the icing on the cake. Essential for keeping the cold out and warm in, protecting your head and ears from the freezing, blustery, drizzly weather, a good winter hat can also be a seriously stylish finishing touch to your ensemble.
Just like summer’s sun hats, this season’s winter hats for women come in options for every preference, occasion or vibe. Look to Acne Studios and Lisa Yang for classic beanie styles, JW Anderson and The Elder Statesman for colourful iterations and Ganni and &Daughter for contemporary designs.

Ganni Leopard-print beret
Channel chic Parisian style with Ganni’s cotton-blend beret: a classic silhouette rendered in a vibrant leopard print and sealed with a leather trim and silver-tone buckle.

Rains Insulated fleece hat
For a Scandi-chic style that is still fully functional for the cold weather, opt for Rains’ fleece hat in a natural sand tone. A smooth, high-fold silhouette cut from the Danish brand’s signature waterproof PU fabric and insulated with a heavy fleece lining, you’ll keep warm and dry while maintaining your winter style.
