Hats aren’t just for keeping your ears warm in chilly weather, though Stella surely has that covered. It can be worn a multitude of ways; as a traditional beret, a slouch style hat, down over the ears, or pull the crown down on one side for the look of a classic French beret. The details are what make Stella special, spiraling starburst on the crown formed by the increases, and a contrasting rounded brim keeps the hat on snugly while adding visual interest.
