Keep your ears warm and your head looking stylish with one of these charming winter toques

It’s still very much winter in Vancouver, which means plenty of wet, chilly and windy days. That means that staying warm and bundled becomes a priority. But staying warm doesn’t mean you have to give up on style – that’s where toques come in. Toques come in all sorts of prints, materials, styles, fits, so matching them to the different outfits in your closet is easy. We found a few that will keep you warm, cosy, and stylish until spring.
