Haute Hats: The Must-Have Fall Accessory


Working a hat into your everyday look can be tricky, but there's no need to be intimidated. Just look through the Sunday newspaper ads and you will see that there are many styles this season. The following tips will help you sport a hat with confidence and style.

Pick classic shapes. Hat trends come and go, but you should stay away from wildly unconventional styles unless they work well with your face shape or you're particularly bold dresser. Choose a hat that flatters most people, such as a newsboy cap or a classic fedora. Mark by Avon is featuring this update to a traditional riding cap sown at left. And don't forget about knit hats, which are warm and practical.

Take it easy on the color. Choose neutral colored hats, such as navy, browns and charcoal grey, that blend with your skin tone and match your jacket. If you decide you want to go for a pop of color, make sure the hue you choose is flattering to your complexion. Remember that the hat is going to be next to your face. A fuchsia hat might look great with your outfit, but it could look terrible with your skin tone. Instead, pick a wild color for your gloves.
