winter hat for 45 year old?

I just wear Ugg ear muffs and out my hood up if it’s really that cold.

+1 for ear muffs. I may have a pin head because I swear, all hats tend to ride down over my eyes and drive me nuts. Ear muffs keep me warm and I can see, ha!

I love pistil. Especially the brimmed beanie.

I do enjoy those who bundle up in Bean boots, scarves, 30 below graded parka, wool hat and glove when snow is *expected* however.

Correction: you DO NOT really need a hat here.

If you are a commuter or want to spend time outside, I think you need a hat. You do not need any specialized cold weather gear but a hat does not fall into that category. It gets windy and cold.

I walk 20 minutes to my office. If I don't wear a hat, my ears are painful and ringing by the time I get there. DC temps are below freezing typically on January and February mornings. Plenty cold enough for a hat.

Just get a maison michel hat, timeless.

Here are the hats I own and wear (rarely) in winter:

Fleece beanie (for camping, mostly)
Wool beanie (for cold days up north)
Wool beret (cute hat)
Felt cloche (green)
Felt cloche (plaid)

I wear a beanie for hiking/walking the dog and a lined velvet cloche for commuting. The cloche isn't fancy, but it's a little more refined amd grown-up. Felt cloches are also very nice.

I have a couple of cashmere beanies, a felt cloche, and one of these https://www.baabaazuzu.com/collections/hats/products/cloche-hat. I also have a few vintage pill box hats, but those are more for fun than warmth.

These don't look very warm.

I got mine at Goorin Bros, and they don't have that style anymore, but here are a couple of nice wool felt cloches:

Goorin is also great because their hats are sized. One size fits all won't fit my head.
