Street Style: From Toronto to New York, 20 shots that prove toques are the season’s It hat
See our street style photos from Toronto and New York »
On a cold and blustery day, bundling up and staying warm is essential. And while we may have had unseasonably warm temps over the weekend, the forecast is hinting that winter is not over just yet. So, what better way to take shelter from the storm than with the season’s It hat: the toque, which street style photographer Stefania Yarhi captures in these photos from Toronto and New York.
Spotted on countless street style blogs and anointed by Man Repeller herself, the toque is a part shabby and part chic way to take shelter from the snow and rain while providing a pop of colour and that perfect amount of slouch. Toques have long been a Canadian staple and these photos prove that they are still just a popular. While most of the time toques are being sported out of necessity, they are a casually cute accessory and can be added to most any outfit. There are many different styles of toques and many ways to wear them—Yarhi has captured a number of them. Pulled farther back allows the back of the hat to slouch downwards. Pulled down tight allows for an extra bit of fabric to stand up high. Meanwhile, pom poms are a welcome addition, which add a bit of whimsy to the style.
Loose knit or tight knight, ribbed or not, there are so many different options available. Any colour of the rainbow will be considered as an option. We spy a cute Hudson’s Bay Company Collection toque featuring multi-coloured stripes. Many of the street styles that were captured were gray or neutral—perhaps the weather had an affect on the choice? Or maybe we just like to keep our styling options open. On any given day in the winter in Canada you can see a wide variety of toques. Will you be inspired to purchase a new toque or sport yours in a different way after checking our street style snaps?
