Winter Is the Perfect Time of Year to Stock Up on Hats
It’s said that we lose a significant amount of body heat through our heads, so it makes sense that winter’s icy-cold temperatures, ultra-dry air and snowfall have inspired us all to stock up on winter hats. Whereas other cold-weather accessories are purely aesthetic, winter hats offer style and practicality; nothing protects a fresh blowout from the elements quite like a handy-dandy beanie, paperboy cap or beret.
And let’s not forget the transformational powers hats offer us on our worst hair days, either. When our go-to dry shampoo just isn’t cutting it, a winter hat can polish off even the most casual off looks in one foolproof fell swoop. The deck is clearly stacked—and it’s stacked in favor of winter hats. The accessory is not only a sensible investment during the calendar’s coldest months, but it’s an oft-overlooked statement piece that’ll chic up any ensemble, regardless of season.
Though some may argue the end of fall is the most appropriate time to stock up on winter hats, we’d suggest the opposite: When winter starts nearing a close, you can score deep discounts on delightful accessories—winter hats, included. Many e-tailers have begun offering mark-downs on cozy, cold-weather beanies and cashmere caps—and they’ve started to release some resort-worthy, festival-facing spring hats, as well. In other words, you can knock out a year’s worth of hat shopping right now.
’90s-inspired bucket hats, Parisian berets and structured wide-brimmed hats are all on the menu—so get shopping.
