With everyone bundled up in bulky jackets, warm scarves and gloves, it can be difficult to exude a sense of personal style and stay warm. Statement coats, wedged booties, riding boots and faux fur scarves are all viable options of cold weather fashion this fall. However, one of my favorite accessories to pull out of the recesses of my closet once the weather turns cool is a hat. Providing a double whammy of warmth and fashion, hats just add that extra oomph to an outfit, not to mention that they are lifesavers on bad hair days.
It was clear from a distance that this Fashionista has style as her vivid houndstooth newsboy cap stood out on campus. She tucked a pair of chic skinnies into black knee-high boots and wrapped up in a black belted peacoat. While a belted coat with a pair of sleek boots cuts a chic figure alone, the houndstooth-patterned hat creates a minimal yet elegant look.
Hats made a huge splash for fall 2012 trends as Marc Jacobs sent delightfully bright and gargantuan headpieces down the runway. Topshop also offers more compact and affordable versions of fur hats. With a feminine and sophisticated silhouette, cloche hats add a bit of ‘20s glamour to any ensemble. Personally, I do not think you can go wrong with a fedora. They are versatile and flatter every face shape. An oxblood fedora combines two heavy-hitting fall trends and will perfectly accent a casual fall outfit. Whichever style you choose, topping off your outfit with a chic hat will instantly pull your look together and keep you warm on that trek to class.
