Read our blog below and discover how to incorporate your winter hats into your daily personal style, made from high-quality materials that are kind to both nature and the wearer. 

Winter Color Trends

This year's winter fashion focuses on rich and calming organic hues inspired by nature in the world. Lucky for us, these neutral colors are versatile and pair easily with a wide range of winter outfits. Let’s take a closer look at the top trending colors for this season.

  • Chestnut Brown – This rich and earthy tone reminds us of late autumn leaves and cozy nights at home, snuggled under blankets by the fireplace. It pairs perfectly with green hues and various shades of beige.
  • Lava Red – If chestnut brown represents the fireplace, then Lava Red is the fire itself. A bold, statement color that brings energy to any setting and helps you stand out from the crowd.
  • Crisp Sky – In contrast to red, this cool blue offers clarity and freshness. Pair it with light tones for a soft and serene look.
  • Evergreen Gray – A soft gray with subtle green undertones is reminiscent of a quiet forest. It's an ideal choice for those with gray or green eyes as it enhances their natural eye color. Evergreen gray is versatile and easy to pair, making it a safe go to option for wearers. You can also try wearing a fedora, bucket or baseball cap to add some flair beyond the standard gray beanie.
  • Sand Dune – A neutral beige that brings the warmth of desert sands to mind, evoking the feeling of natural and organic materials. Like gray, it’s easy to match with other colors, but offers a warmer toned appearance.

Which Types of Hats Will We be Wearing This Year?

Now that you’ve discovered the trending colors for winter, it’s time to choose the right hat that matches your style and needs. A great winter hat adds personality to your wardrobe, compliments your outfit, and shows off your personal style. Here are five main styles you're sure to see this winter!

Classic Beanies

Beanies in light colors - pink, grey, blue, brown.

A beanie is an absolute must-have for all winter wardrobes. Simple, practical and warm, beanies are perfect for everyday wear. This season, opt for beanies in soft, neutral pastel tones like blue, gray, brown and coral pink.

Made from felt, fedoras can be paired with comfortable, casual outfits, as well as styled for formal occasions. For classy outfits, opt for minimalist fedoras. For a more romantic vibe, choose fedoras with a velvet or leather trim to add a feminine touch.

French Chick Beret

  • Match it with a scarf and gloves: For a polished look, coordinate your hat with a matching scarf and gloves.
