Autumn/Winter 2025-2026, The Trends
Winter Hats: The Three Trends to Adopt in 2025-2026
Each season tells its story in its own way. For autumn-winter, hats become the discreet messengers of style: they balance, assert, and give character to every look.
Whether you prefer subtle details or bolder choices, the trends at the end of 2025 revolve around three strong directions. Three ways to assert your personality with elegance, without overdoing it.
Contrast: Daring the Right Balance
This winter, we play with oppositions: textures against smooth, deep shades against light tones, soft lines against graphic shapes. In terms of headwear, this duality is evident: Flat cap in leather, French Beret in dense felt, fedora with an asymmetrical brim or rigid cap. We dare bold colors and assertive styles, slightly tilted, well anchored, or worn back. A strong accessory that structures the silhouette without freezing it.
"Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions." — Coco Chanel
Couture
Romanticism: Softness and Character
Embrace softness without being overly sweet. Soft felt , milleraies velvet , satin finishes, or light trimmings: classic shapes soften. The cloche , the Fascinator, the Newsboy cap , and wide berets come in old rose, sand, or pastel. Fluid lines, light materials: subtle elegance, almost poetic.
"Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside." — Diane von Furstenberg
Noble Wear: The Chic of Experience
Raw textures, natural patinas, lively shapes: here, style is written in experience. Crumpled felt fedora, softened Outback Hat , Irish Cap in mottled tweed or vintage Newsboy cap . The shades are muted — tobacco, ash green, stone gray — and the materials tell a story. A free style, both assertive and relaxed.
"Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not caring about the rest." — Orson Welles
In summary?
This winter, each hat becomes an extension of yourself. It's no longer about following trends, but finding the one that resembles you. And wearing it with conviction.

The Shapes of the Moment:
The Cap in All Its Forms
An timeless icon, the cap transcends eras by reinventing styles. Flat, Newsboy, Irish, Hatteras, or duckbill, each shape tells an attitude: more urban, more retro, or more assertive. Whether in wool, milleraies corduroy, or technical fabric, it adapts to all morphologies and is worn both summer and winter. A wardrobe essential, available in a palette of materials and volumes.
The Chapka, Between Comfort and Character
Both functional and bold, the Chapka is the ally of harsh winters. With its warm lining and foldable ear flaps, it perfectly protects from the cold while asserting a true stylistic stance. In leather, wool, or waterproof fabric, it finds its place in urban looks as well as more outdoor silhouettes. Ideal for combining style and thermal insulation.
Wide-Brimmed Hats: Floppy Hat & Outback Hat
For an assertive and elegant look, nothing beats a wide-brimmed hat. The Floppy Hat, feminine and fluid, evokes a bohemian chic silhouette, while the Outback Hat, more structured, stands as a travel companion with an assertive style. In felt or wool, these iconic shapes protect from the cold while elongating the silhouette. Strong pieces, to be worn naturally.
