SNOK! Approved: Modern Cloches

One of my favorite things about the coming months is the opportunity to score cute, cozy, cold weather hats. And while felt may not be your EMS polytechnohypercoldrepelent fleece, it's a chance to don something vintagey and ladylike and keep your ears warm in the process. The best part, a chance to channel the flapper-ish fashionistas of yore: according to fashion history, "To wear one correctly the hat had to be all but pulled over the eyes, making the wearer have to lift up the head, whilst peering snootily down the nose." A few options to consider...

Gathered and girly in Mauve with a sweet sweeping peak.

A one of a kind, handmade piece with a sculptural, face-framing ruffle. (from Etsy!)
Classic Americana with a nautical edge.

A minimal, ultra modern interpretation in bold royal blue.
