I mean, who doesn’t love finally getting able to slip into their chic trench coat, wrap on a plaid scarf and throw on some fluffy earmuffs?! However, while earmuffs and fuzzy ball-topped winter hats aren’t going anywhere, there’s a new type of winter hat that has entered the chat: Knit bonnets. Not only are they super trendy and stylish, they’re exceptionally practical and great for the season. Keep reading for why you should partake in the winter knit bonnet trend, and the best knit bonnets to shop for.
What is a winter knit bonnet?
These cozy, full-coverage hats have been making their appearance known this winter as both a practical way to stay warm and a fashion statement. Part of why knit bonnets, as well as their similar counterpart called balaclavas, which are fully enclosed head wraps, are super trendy and beloved at the moment because they offer a daintier, more feminine style to traditionally bulky winter hats. The thin—but undoubtedly warm—knit material that makes up these bonnets is so chic and lays so elegantly on the head, and its lack of thickness helps it to stay in place (ever notice that the weight of your other winter hats causes it to slide around?). Plus, for those going through perimenopause or menopause and dealing with hot flashes, knit bonnets are a great, more lightweight option for winter.

Additionally, knit bonnets pair so well with thick jackets like puffer coats and wool trench coats, as their thin fabric balances out the look.
Knit bonnets can be described as thin, knit coverings that shield the entire head, ears and often neck from the cold and other winter elements. Balaclavas, the aforementioned sister to knit bonnets, are close-fitting caps.
