Don’t Wear This Chanel Ski Hat While You’re Skiing

Function typically wins out over fashion when it comes to choosing suitable cold-weather headgear—whether you’re on a ski slope or simply bracing for arctic gusts downtown. But this quilted chapka-style hat addresses both concerns: It’s chic and quite lightweight—yet snaps on the earflaps mean it can wrap the face to keep the wearer warm. The $1,400 accessory is part of Coco Neige by Chanel, the fashion house’s first complete capsule collection dedicated to winter pastimes.
