Winter Hats

Practical and stylish, winter hats for men are a smart addition to the wardrobe once the weather turns colder. Men's winter hats work well with chunky knits and down jackets but simple beanies can also combine with check shirts and jeans for a retro grunge look. Winter hats for men range from a simple slouchy beanie to a designer label knitted hat. The Stylight site keeps out the chill with a selection of winter hats for men.

Be Wily and Warm in a Winter Hat

Don’t let the winter winds take advantage of your style smarts. If it’s cold outside, you should cover your head. Though scientists debunked the myth that if your head is warm, the rest of your body will follow suit, keeping it wrapped up can’t cramp your style or your body heat.

Seek out a winter hat that brings together the best of both. We compiled a list of factors to consider for your headwear.

Style

Winter hats tend to come in softer flexible shapes, which eliminates structured hats from the picture. These styles are still fashion forward, though.

Beanie

Opt for a beanie that sticks close to your head for a hat that’s convenient, comfortable and warm. Beanies also allow for double-duty coverage, as you can easily pull a hood over one to maximize insulation.

Ear Flap

Hats with ear flaps are another strong option that make more of a distinct statement. Think Holden Caulfield without all the teenage angst. With a strong, square shape and ties at the end of the flaps, you’ll look fierce as you brave through blizzards and storms.

Cap

Bring your beloved baseball hat into chilly temperatures with a shape that’s similar but without the sports logo. A brim at the front keeps the bright, reflective light of a winter sun out of your eyes.

Material

Textiles and fabric make all the difference when it comes to staying toasty in chilly climates. Keep these options in mind as you’re hat-hunting.

Fur

The warmest of any material, a hat with fur on the outside is more for show than practicality. Bring fur into the lining and it will make a huge difference.

Wool

Less of a burden than big and bulky fur, wool is the best heat insulator. A wool knit beanie guarantees to create a barrier between the cold and your head.

Polyester

This is the only material that’s totally water resistant. If you’re planning on being outdoors in wet, slushy snow for an extensive period of time, this should be your go-to for hats.

Don’t let sleet and snow get the best of you. Top off your winter wardrobe with a hat.

Hats off to the winter for the chance to rock headwear that’s as stylish as it is warm.
