The second is style. A hat that offers both is something to treasure. Unfortunately, not all winter hats are created equal. Some provide little protection despite looking cozy. For style purposes, hat-wearers probably want multiple options to match any outfit and occasion. That’s why cold-weather hats make great gifts.
