Stay Warm With Elegant Winter Hats

Now that daylight savings has occurred, winter has officially started. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder. To stay warm, the well-dressed businessmen often times wears winter coats, gloves, scarves and hats. Since most of your body heat is lost at your head, wearing a hat will keep you warm like no other piece of clothing. Below are a few helpful tips to consider when shopping for your perfect winter hat:

Comfort:
When shopping for hats make sure to try them on! Does it itch? If yes, then it isn't the right one for you. Leave the hat on for at least a minute to see how it feels. It has to be comfortable and has to fit your head-shape. Only if it is comfortable to wear you will actually use it. There is no point in buying a hat that you have to take off every few minutes to scratch your head.

Materials:
In style this winter are the so-called Mohair Hats. Mohair is a silky textile produced from the angora goat. It is a prefect material for winter hats since it is warm, durable, insulating, and light weight. In addition, it also has moisture wicking properties that carry moisture away from your skin. Like most natural fabrics it is said to have a somewhat itchy character. Because of this, look for a Mohair hat that has silk or fine cotton lining. To make sure it is in-fact comfortable, try the hat on before buying. Stay away from synthetic materials like polyester. It won't insulate as well as a wool fabric, and will make your head sweaty.

Styles:
Make sure that the hat you choose matches your outfit. A ski-hat will obviously look out of place in combination with suit and tie. A good place to find good looking winter hats are Banana Republic, Armani Exchange, and the Gap.

The Colors:
Black and gray colored hats will go with almost everything. As a general rule match the hat to your scarf and gloves. Combining and matching these three winter accessories will add a nice elegant look. If you wear a brown coat, then stick to a hat in complimenting earth tones such as beige or tan.
