You likely already have a great coat and some fantastic boots picked out for the season—you could always use some more though, right?—but a gentleman’s winter wardrobe is not complete without the proper headwear. Make sure you have these four types of hats in your closet this winter, all of which you can get at Garmany.

A flat cap

It may seem more like a summer staple, but you can wear a flat cap—similar to a newsboy hat—all year round. Just throw on this retro feeling topper in a heavier material like wool from Brunello Cucinelli to complement a suit, a jacket, a peacoat or a sweater.

A beanie

This brimless, usually knitted hat is more casual than the newsboy but just as versatile. Bonus: beanies travel better than most hats, as they can be thrown into a suitcase without flattening out. We love a soft cashmere beanie from Loro Piana or Autumn Cashmere.

A fedora

Fedoras, defined by their soft brims and “pinched” in crowns, work best in the warmer months in straw or felt materials, but opt for a wool fedora this time of year. The ones from Rag & Bone look great with a suit and tie or with jeans and a sweater and will make you look put together with very little effort on your part.

An aviator

Because sometimes a scarf just doesn’t cut it, you’ll want to have a super warm hat on hand that has ear flaps, a defining feature of aviator hats. Canada Goose has a aviator hat that is lined with shearling and also has a chin strap, so the lower half of your face will stay just as toasty as your ears.

Stop by Garmany to try any of these stylish headwear options on for size, and stay warm out there, fellas!
