Staying Cute & Warm: Hats!!

Aside from helping fend off the winter chill, a truly great hat can elevate your outfit and make it impactful on a whole new level. The idea is if it’s good, it becomes great. If it’s great, it becomes stunning, right? Plus, everyone remembers a hat! But if you’re anything like us, when it comes to fashion you wear, well, many different hats. One day your sensibilities veer toward sporty chic, the next toward a more sophisticated look. That’s why we’ve rounded up 14 equally stylish toppers to suit every taste in this month’s Market Watch story. Keep reading for details on these chic chapeaux, and be sure to see how several celebs style their hats too!

Designer Inspiration
The headwear of choice at A Detacher’s F/W 12 show was a pom-pom hat, and we particularly loved how the delightfully quirky topper accented a plaid tunic layered over matching pants, offering a whimsical approach to cold-weather dressing.

POM-POM HATS
A knit beanie adorned with a fuzzy pom-pom adds youthful charm to your look. It’s a perfectly playful accompaniment to a graphic sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Our picks:
Michael Kors Two Tone Pom Pom Skull Hat ($40)
Gap Reverse Fair Isle Hat ($20)
Marc by Marc Jacobs Trompe L’oeil Beanie ($78)

SHORT-BRIM FEDORAS
Menswear-inspired trends are still strong this season, so style a dapper, short-brim fedora with a crisp oxford shirt tucked into tailored trousers. The resulting outfit smacks of understated cool.
Our picks:
Tory Burch Fashion Trilby ($135)
Ann Taylor Silk Twill Band Fedora ($40) in Rich Pomegranate

Supreme Patchwork Suede Back Arc Hat ($60) in Turquoise
