If there’s one thing we know for sure about 2025’s headwear trends, it’s that they’re earphobic. The popularity of balaclavas, bonnets and snoods has made it clear that ears are very out of fashion — and covering them up is all the rage.
The latest example of this anti-auditory dressing can be seen in the return of the once-derided hats with flaps. For the standard British brain, these are most closely associated with Dappy, one third of late 2000s UK rap group N-Dubz.
