You've got to love an accessory that instantly shelters you from constant autumn rain, hides hangover hair, and looks like the kind of statement item that turns your outfit into the realm of 'I totally spent ages putting this together'. Behold, the hat - your lazy outfit BFF.
Sure, everyone gets all 'I'm just not a hat person' when confronted with head-gear, but that's a load of tosh if you ask us - you've obviously just not found the right one yet.
Let these Instagrammers guide you...
Cap it up
A cap was never meant to be taken seriously, so this is your fun way into the hat trend. Go classic sporty or pick one with eyecatching embellishment.
This hat is top
A once-formal hat goes all Parisian poet when worn with mega messy hair.
The tilt
Hats are tricker business when it comes to short hair or fringes, but a hat tilted back is all the better for showing of face-skimming hair.
Beanie baby
Beanies are a brilliant (and cosy) cheek-bone enhancer, even if you're not as naturally chisselled as mega-model Jourdan Dunn.
Pretty with plaits
We'll admit hats do inhibit your hair-up options, but any headwear, be it a beanie or a wide-brim, makes a side-plait - one or two - look even better, so it's swings and roundabouts.
