As the winter chill sets in for 2025, hats are not just practical accessories but bold statements of style. The transformative power of a great hat is being recognised. This season, we’re seeing an exciting trend in various winter hat styles, with celebrities leading the charge. From soft wool beanies to relaxed Newsboy caps to sophisticated cloche bucket, beret and fedora styles, winter hats are now essential fashion pieces that elevate any winter outfit.
Sharp and Stylish Newsboy hat
Seen on the runway at Prada AW24/25, Hermés and Khaite Fall/Winter 2025 show at NYFW last month, the catwalks have been filled with models wearing newsboy caps, Baker boy caps and flat caps ( They are all similar styles and are often interchangeably classified ).
Inspired by the iconic series "Peaky Blinders," newsboy caps are making a bold comeback in both men's and women's fashion this winter. The flat cap's structured yet relaxed design perfectly bridges function and style, appealing to those who wish to exude a sense of cool confidence. Hollywood’s newest generation of darlings is adopting the newsboy cap look. Last month, Kendall Jenner stepped out in New York City, wearing a black tweed iteration with a brown suede jacket and dark gray fringe scarf. Back in January, Keke Palmer donned a dark gray leather style from Wolford. Chanel’s Pre-Fall 2024 show line featured a variety of colorful tweed newsboy caps. Then, on Prada’s Fall/Winter 2024 catwalk, the hat was a key element of the collection, coming in styles that ran the gamut from feathered iterations to suede and velvet caps .
