Best Winter Hats of 2020 – Winter Accessories Round-Up

How do you keep warm while looking cool this winter? One word: hats. No, not just those fitted New Era’s or those ’47 snapbacks; we mean the gear made for winter. Hibbett | City Gear’s shelves (virtual and in-store) are stocked with all the winter accessories you want from the brands you love most.

Beat the cold like a boss and top off your winter wardrobe with the hottest styles of the season. From knit hats and beanies by Nike, BAWS, Timberland, and UA to headwraps by The North Face and adidas, we’ve rounded up our picks for the best winter hats of 2020.

Cold-Beating Beanies

Beanies, named for the small cloth-covered buttons found at the peak of the hat, may sound silly in name, but these winter accessories mean business when it comes to beating the cold. They are as practical as they are fashionable. And, did we mention they’re ridiculously warm? That’s thanks to the variety of insulating materials beanies are crafted from, including ultra-soft jersey fabrics, acrylic yarns and luxe fleece linings.

Another great thing about beanies? Everyone — man, woman or child — looks good in one. You can stand out on the slopes in a pom-topped knit beanie and a puffy parka, or simply enjoy the view in a fleece-lined cable knit hat and hoodie.

No matter how or where you wear it, our top picks are:

• Nike Futura Knit Beanie in red 
• adidas Originals Trefoil Beanie in grey
• The North Face Salty Dog Beanie in black
• Jordan Cuffed Pom Beanie in orange 
• Under Armour Women’s Snowcrest IV Beanie in ivory

Buck the Winter Weather with Bucket Hats 

Who says winter has to be all about knits and faux fur? Those things are great and all, but sometimes you want to add something more out-of-the-box to your winter wardrobe. A bucket hat is a great way to keep your head covered and the sun’s glare at bay. With their wide brims and adjustable chin straps (applicable to those that HAVE chin straps), bucket hats provide protection from wind and precipitation, be it rain, sleet or snow! Style your bucket hat with a tailored trench or a puffer vest. 

Our top picks:

• Nike Sportswear Americana Bucket Hat 
• Nike Sportswear Sideline Bucket Hat in grey
• AKOO Leaf Bucket Hat 
• Staple World Play Bucket Hat 
• Nike Women’s Sportswear Retro Bucket Hat

Snap Back at Jack Frost with Snapbacks & Adjustable Caps 

Okay… Okay… We did say we were going to show you more than snapbacks, but ball-cap-style hats still deserve a spot in our line up of winter accessories top picks. Sure, snap backs look great with basketball shorts and tees, but the right cap can easily transition into a winter wardrobe staple when paired with a roomy pullover, joggers and a pair of Jordans, a team jersey and jeans or a full sweatsuit.

Our top picks:

• Jordan Unisex Jumpman Elephant Print Ingot Pro Hat
• adidas Chain Snapback in black and white
• Tommy Hilfiger Ardin “Navy” Dad Cap
• Billion Dollar Baby “Black” All Over Print Snapback Hat
• NikeCourt AeroBill Featherlight Tennis Cap

Hang Tight with Headbands

Sometimes a hat, whether it be snapback or beanie, doesn’t do the job. That’s when a headband comes in. A thick knit headband keeps ears warm (and protects your headphones, too). They’re every bit as versatile as a hat, and they’re perfect for sporting with a messy bun.

Our top picks:

• Nike Women’s Knit Headband in maroon
• The North Face Standard Issue Earband in black
• adidas Women’s Crestline Headband in white
• The North Face Ribbed Knit Headband in garnet
