Although slightly delayed, winter has arrived in Toronto and I think i’m prepard gearwise, mentally is another story. Being a native Chicagoan i’m no stranger to sub zero temperatures but there is something slightly intimidating about my first Canadian winter. I have been systematicaly stocking up on all of the essentials over the past few months and i’ve come to realize how equally fun and essential a great hat is. The options are endless and I love everything from chic cloche styles to sporty driving caps and cozy touques. Here are some of my favorites right now from KX.

• Toques

  Warm, cozy, essential!! Ours is $12.

• Faux

  Ultra warm and hot! This one is from H&M $15.

• Beret

  Cute & classic. This vintage woolen tam is $12.

• My picks.
