Quick answer
Style an aviator fleece hat by choosing the right size, pairing it with a matching coat or snowsuit, and securing the earflaps for full coverage.
Why the aviator fleece hat works for winter
The Aviator Fleece Hat from Garbo&Friends is made from 100% GRS-certified recycled polyester, which is soft yet insulating. Its earflaps and folded front brim provide extra warmth where kids lose heat fastest—the ears and forehead. The hand-drawn print adds a unique touch, but the real value is in the lined design that blocks wind without adding bulk.
Common styling mistake to avoid
Many parents choose a hat that looks cute but fits too loosely. A loose fleece hat lets cold air reach the scalp and ears, defeating its purpose. Always check that the hat sits snugly on the head without sliding down over the eyes.
How to style an aviator fleece hat in 3 steps
- Check the fit before the first outing: Measure your child's head circumference and compare it to the hat's size chart. The hat should cover the ears completely and sit just above the eyebrows. A common mistake is buying a size too large for growth room—this lets cold air in. A snug fit around the ears and forehead is essential for warmth.
- Pair with a coordinating winter coat or snowsuit: Match the hat's color or print with your child's outerwear. For example, a neutral-toned aviator fleece hat works with any coat, while a bright print can add personality to a solid snowsuit. Avoid bulky scarf layers that bunch under the chin—the hat's earflaps already cover that area. Keep the neck area streamlined to prevent overheating and discomfort.
- Secure the earflaps and brim properly: Button or tie the earflaps under the chin so they stay in place during active play. Fold the front brim up once to create a visor effect that shields the eyes from snow glare. A common checkpoint is checking that the brim doesn't flop down and block vision. Adjust the earflaps and brim every time you put the hat on, especially after naps or car rides.
