The Bomber Hat: Fashion Trend

December 2, 2008 01:00 PM

Trust us, we know this hat looks a little silly at first. But think about it. It's getting cold out, and our ears are going numb within 10 minutes of going outside. Earmuffs are clumsy and yet another thing to remember to throw on when you're bundling up, so why not combine your hat and your earmuffs in the bomber hat? You're thinking that this hat looks, well, odd, but worn with what we're sure are your stylish clothes, it'll look unique, smart and a bit ironic. No one gives those knit caps a second thought when everyone is wearing them -- they're a trendy necessity, but almost a given in the winter. Some we like:

The plaid gray bomber hat from Urban Outfitters combines the pattern of the season with warm fur and fun ear flaps. $38.00.

Flip the ear flaps down on the quilted sherpa cadet hat from Old Navy to make it into the bomber hat we're talking about. $19.50.

Apparently, the Brits call our bomber hat a "trapper" hat, but Topman has several options, such as this bright blue trapper hat ($36.00) and the black nylon trapper hat ($24.00).

Inside the pinstripe bomber hat from Heritage1981 there is satin lining, while faux fur trims the outside. It comes in two patterns. $18.90.
