Flat cap for winter – the other kind of winter hat

One of the best - and most stylish! - ways to keep warm in winter is to wear a flat cap. The trendy flat cap is a particularly great choice as it is usually made from thick, warm fabric - and often has fold-out earmuffs. They often even have an inner lining to provide additional protection from the cold and are a slightly lighter alternative to wool hats such as beanies etc.

Casual, elegant, classic: the winter flat cap in portrait

Flat caps come in a variety of styles, from casual to elegant to classic. For a casual look, you can choose a winter flat cap with a tweed pattern or fold-out earmuffs. For a more elegant look, you can choose a model with a plain color or a slightly longer brim.

There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to colors either, because the trendy it-piece is available in many different variations. With a more neutral color like black, brown or gray, you can keep your outfit simple and calm, while eye-catching patterns or a bright color can give your look that certain something.

How do I find the perfect flat cap for me?

1. Let your personal style run free!

One of the best things about the flat cap is its versatility. It can be worn with both casual and formal outfits. Here are a few examples:

Casual look:

For example, combine a light-colored flat cap with jeans and a checked shirt for a relaxed but chic everyday look. For example, combine a dark flat cap with a T-shirt, a bomber jacket and sneakers for an urban style.

Business casual:

A brown flat cap can be perfectly worn with an earth-tone suit and a shirt without a tie to create a smart business-casual look.

For a simple look, a flat cap can be paired with suit trousers and a plain shirt to create a chic yet comfortable office look.

Vintage chic:

Grab a flat cap with a simple pattern and wear it with a trench-style coat for a timeless, elegant vintage look.

2. Choose the right size

  • First take your measurements.This works best with a tape measure. Once you have your measurements, you can use a size chart as a guide.
  • Pay attention to the fit.If you're looking for a tighter fit, go with your regular size or the next size down. If you prefer a looser fit, go with the next size up.
  • Also consider the material.Spandex and other stretchy fabrics will typically be looser than non-stretchy fabrics. If you're unsure how a fabric will fit, consult customer service or look for reviews online.

3. Are you looking for a stylish accessory or a functional headgear?

The flat cap is not only a practical piece of clothing, but can also be a statement accessory. With its unique shape and vintage charm, it attracts attention and gives your outfit that certain something:

Color contrast – simple or striking?

Are you looking for a flat cap in a plain or a more striking color? Think about what suits your style best and whether you want to emphasize or spice up your outfits. For example, a light flat cap can provide a contrast to your darker outfit and vice versa - let your creativity run wild and reinvent yourself!

Pattern mix – plain or patterned?

Be brave and mix patterns! Combine a patterned flat cap with a chic top or patterned trousers to create a creative and eye-catching look. Of course, a patterned flat cap can just as easily contrast with a more simple look.

Match accessories – less is more!

If you want to spice up your outfit with additional accessories, they should match your flat cap - or at least not distract from it too much. A matching tie, belt or nice watch can complete and round off your look.

And this is how you care for your flat cap:

  • Flat caps can be cleaned selectively with a damp cloth.
  • If the cap is very dirty, wash it by hand with lukewarm water and a mild detergent or hair shampoo.
  • Be careful not to immerse the peak of the cap in water.
  • Avoid washing machine and dryer as too much heat and water can damage the fabric and shape.
  • After cleaning, reshape and let it air dry (not in too hot air).
  • Store the cap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to avoid damage and fading.
