Let’s start by getting one thing straight: there’s nothing wrong with a good ol’ beanie. This hat is warm, reliable, and probably your go-to headpiece when you want to get to work in time without freezing your ears off. However, as great as they are, beanies are just way too basic to be the highlight of your hat collection anymore, so why look boring when you can be chic without too much effort? This winter, swap your beanie for one of these trendy headpieces to stand out wherever you go!

Beret 

The classic headpiece that is usually associated with French elegance, the beret is versatile and classy, which is exactly what you’re looking for this winter. Originating in the early 19th century, the beret has definitely stood the test of time, and it is sure to become your favourite hat all year round. Plus, such an accessory will definitely look better with your belted trench coat than a regular knit beanie. During the cold winter days, opt for a beret made of warm fabrics like wool so that you can not only look great but feel cosy as well. 

Irish Flat Cap 

A few years ago, everyone fell in love with the iconic Irish flat caps thanks to the Peaky Blinders show, and although the women of the Shelby clan didn’t wear these headpieces, women all over the world incorporated them into their outfits. Today, these women’s Irish caps represent the perfect balance between formal and casual, being easily combined with all kinds of looks, regardless of the occasion. This season, choose a flat cap from this winter women’s Irish hats collection and use your new accessory to top off any ensemble stylishly. 

Earmuffs 

Do you remember how much fun you had rocking earmuffs in primary school? Back then, it seemed like any cool girl had them, and they were one of those rare accessories that were actually comfortable and warm. This year, they are back in style, and earmuffs come in so many colours, patterns, and fabrics that it would be impossible not to find the perfect ones for you. Fluffy black earmuffs are a classic choice that go well with any outfit, but you can also go for colourful ones to make a statement without sacrificing your comfort. 

Headband

If you spend hours getting your hair ready for the day and don’t want to ruin your blowout with a covering headpiece, headbands are the perfect match for you! These delicate accessories protect you from the cold while also allowing you to show off your hairstyle, and just like the earmuffs, they come in a rich selection of fabrics and patterns. For a subtle, old-money-inspired outfit, get a thin headband made of a synthetic blend and combine it with your quilted jacket and a blanket scarf. If you are looking for a warmer option, consider getting a thick cable knit piece made of wool that will definitely keep you warm and cosy all winter.
