I'm not going to sit here and try to sell you on all the reasons why winter is so fabulous. I agree, the season sucks. There is however, one small part of me that gets excited about the coming cold for no other reason than it's hat season. In the summer, the minute you put on a protective visor you lose some serious street cred, whereas winter hats are a must-have fashion accessory. Here are 5 stylish options that will have you looking fantastic despite being cold and miserable!

 Wool roll hat: Not only are wool hats super stylish this winter, they are also very practical. Fleece may try its darndest but nothing beats wool for keeping you warm and toasty on a cold January morning.

Beret: These babies aren't just for Monica Lewinsky and the French. Berets allow you to show off your dramatic side but should be saved for those warmer winter days because they don't cover your ears.

Beanie hat: A little more casual and playful, beanie hats are perfect for those who actually like winter and celebrate by skiing, skating or snowboarding in the great outdoors.

Newsboy hat: My personal favourite, the newsboy hat, acts as a stylish accessory while still protecting you from the harsh winter elements. Frist dibs on the leopard print one!

Waffle hat: It's like something your grandmother would have knit for you only more hip. Waffle hats are comfy and casual, especially if you opt for the cashmere variety.
