New York Fashion Week Street Style Hats

As the snow falls in New York City, there's a must-wear piece for the street style set that is sitting above everything else. Everywhere you look hats, hoods and generally fabulous headwear is certainly having a well-earned sartorial moment during New York Fashion Week.

From neat crochet bonnets in shades of lavender and pristine felt berets to big bold beanies that steal the show and lovingly well-worn baseball caps, as long it's sitting atop your head, you're scoring major fashion points.

The perfect hat to finish off an all pink outfit

With so many fashion shows forced into digital spaces for the past few seasons, we’re thrilled to see street style carrying on. Oh, how we’ve missed the fake-candid blogger shots! Following Copenhagen last month, it’s New York’s turn now. It’s time to sit back and scroll through plenty of scrumptious new outfit inspiration.

We might be heading (at a snail's pace) into the comforting embrace of spring. But, it isn’t stopping the chilly late winter weather and insane gale-force winds nipping at our cheeks. Carefully planned outfits are hidden away under pillowy puffer coats and swishy anoraks. We may love to dress up, but warmth and comfort is always (ALWAYS) key. If we have learnt anything from years of ‘outdoor only’ socialising, it’s the importance of staying snug.

Matching beret and lipstick is a powerful move

However, in order to keep up with the fashionable lot, the key piece you must add is a hat.

For more cool-girl points, wear yours with sunglasses for the ultimate New York fashion week street style uniform and sashay your way through the crowds.
