Seasons change and so does fashion! To help you navigate the changing weather while keeping your sensitive scalp protected, we’ve compiled a list of seasonal hat choices for women dealing with hair loss. This guide also discusses the most suitable fabrics for each season. From keeping warm in the winter chill to staying cool under the summer sun, we’ve got you covered every step of the way.
Winter Hat Choices
As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, the primary goals for your winter headwear are insulation, softness, and full coverage. The scalp, now exposed, is highly sensitive to the cold, and keeping warm is crucial for comfort and health.
The Best Winter Fabrics
- Bamboo: A brilliant thermo-regulating fabric. It’s incredibly soft, hypoallergenic, and works to keep you warm in the cold without causing overheating indoors.
Our Olivia Collection comes in four designs, it has great covering for the back of your neck and it is even waterproof! It is a very popular winter hat choice that is made of soft and organic bamboo.
- Soft wool blend: Wool in general is very harsh, and synthetic material may not be the most warm, thus a blend of those is the best choice! Soft wool fabric features natural softness, warmth, breathability, elasticity, and odour resistance.
Our Ari and Michelle are some of the best selling winter hats that are a soft wool blend with soft inner fleece, making it extremely soft and warm, perfect for cold winter.
These hats and beanies will be a perfect match with cashmere and soft sweaters and scarves! You can read more on how to match our hats with your outfits on our blog on how to style your hats to match the colour of autumn and winter!

Spring Hat Choices
Spring is the season of transition, meaning you need headwear that is lightweight, breathable, and adaptable to sudden temperature changes. It’s also the perfect time to introduce fresh colours and floral prints!
The Best Spring Fabrics
- Bamboo: Is always a winner! Its breathability prevents overheating on warmer days, while its thickness offers sufficient protection on cooler mornings.
Our Katia Navy & White, Yanna Ivory Green Aloe and Yanna White Summertime are 95% Breathable Bamboo, 5% Spandex.
- Cotton: Pure, breathable, and soft. It is ideal for days when you’ll be indoors and outdoors. It’s easy to wash and comes in endless colours and patterns.

Summer Hat Choices
In the summer, your headwear must prioritise sun protection (UPF), moisture-wicking properties, and maximum cooling. A bare scalp is extremely susceptible to sunburn and heat stroke.
The Best Summer Fabrics
- Linen: It is a very interesting fabric, known for being breathable, moisture-wicking, and strong, getting softer with each wash, making it cool in summer. It is a crisp, light fabric that adds texture and elegance to a more structured hat style.
Mirna is 50% Linen outside, 50% Bamboo inside, and the inner layer is made of bamboo fabric. It is also moisture absorbent!
- Bamboo: Exceptional for wicking away sweat and keeping the scalp feeling cool and dry. Look for single-layer bamboo for maximum airflow.
Our Katia Plus Navy White Polka Dot, Katia Plus White Summertime and Katia Grey & Silver (which is also reversible) will be perfect for a hot summer. These are all with UPF 50+ Sun Protection and made of 95% Breathable Bamboo.
- Lightweight Cotton: Highly breathable and avoids trapping heat.
Our Lola Black Blush Fiori and Lola Navy White Polka Dot are 50 % Soft Cool Linen Cotton 50% Organic Bamboo and come with a detachable scarf designed and printed in Italy.

Autumn Hat Choices
Autumn calls for an increase in texture and a return to richer colours as you prepare for the colder months. The goal is comfort, slight insulation, and layering potential.
Best Fabrics for Autumn
- Cotton: Still a staple, but look for slightly heavier-weight knits than your summer cottons.
Our Primrose collection is made of 95% Silky Touch High-quality Cotton and has ten different colours available.
- Bamboo & Viscose Blends: Provide a beautiful drape and feel while offering that perfect in-between level of warmth.
Our Yanna Brick Cinnamon Alloro, Jewel Red Golden Flower and Diamond Black Golden Shell are double layered so it gives extra warmth and the warm colours are perfect for autumn!
