Hot Hats for Fall

Covering your head when the weather gets chilly is not only practical, but also stylish. So try donning a chapeau this fall for a different look that keeps your head warm. They’re perfect for those bad hair days! Here are a few trends to try. Consider your personal style as you choose a hat style – do you favor a boho look? Romantic? Inspired by menswear? Or are you just interested in keeping your noggin and ears warm? Regardless, there’s a style out there for everyone. If you like a casual, boho look – think flared jeans, wedges and tissue tees – give a floppy, wide-brim hat a try. And we’re not talking about that straw hat you sport at the beach. Cozy fabrics like flannel will keep your head warm. Rachel Zoe, Blake Lively and Rihanna have all been seen sporting floppy hats with jeans or maxidresses. Don’t feel like going big?

Try a bucket hat. It’s a more subtle way to complement that boho look. Give one in a sunny color like turquoise or yellow a try on grey, drab days. Fedoras are super-fashionable hats among the stars. Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham and Nicole Richie have all sported fedoras. Find a rich fall color like dark purple to set off an outfit perfectly. A stronger statement to make would be pairing a fedora with menswear, like boxy blazers. A bowler, a more rounded version of the fedora, can add a touch of softness to tough-looking outfits like jeans and leather jackets. And the cozy skullcap is always an option – just be sure to take care of the hair underneath so you’re not worried about hat hair.
