Let's face it: Winters in Vancouver can be tough! While certainly not the coldest part of Canada, winters often bring freezing temperatures, several snow days and tons of chilly rain. Heavy coats will do a lot to keep you dry and warm, but winter hats are a quintessential accessory for Vancouverites. At Granville Island Hat Shop, we have winter-ready hats ready to keep you cozy without sacrificing style. In this blog, we'll explore why stylish and protective hats are a must-have for the winter months.
Winter hats are a must-have when the weather gets chilly. Leaving your head exposed is a problem no matter how warm the rest of you might be—it's like turning the heat on high inside your home only to discover that somebody left a window open. No amount of warmth can make up for leaving a window open, and no amount of warm clothing can make up for letting heat escape through your head. That's why choosing a top-notch winter hat is vital for both men and women.
You can’t comfortably survive frigid weather without an excellent winter hat—and if you try, you certainly won’t be happy about it. The first purpose of winter hats is protection from the elements. 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.
In the past, men’s hats were all the rage. If you used a time machine to visit the 1920s, it would be rare to see a man out and about without one. Though hat-wearing has declined among both women and men since then, the style is coming back. We’re pretty happy about that: Just placing a hat on your head is one of the easiest ways to polish up your look. Aside from aesthetics, hats for men are also practical. Check out these options to choose the perfect summer hat for you.
