The chapka has a distinct, cozy, and sometimes rugged look. It can be paired with modern, urban outfits to create an interesting contrast.
This fur hat, once a huge favourite among the Russian bourgeoisie, is the winter accessory of choice for those of us who are sensitive to the cold. The Russian hat is the warmest head accessory you’ll get your hands on. After being considered old-fashioned for many years, it is now back in favour and melting the hearts of fashionistas.
There is an array of colours to choose from as well. They come in chestnut/brown and black as well as in white and more colourful versions. It all depends on your style. You can also find fleece versions. Though less stylish, these will keep you just as warm as any other Russian hat.
