Wear a felt hat and join this year'smost fashionable trends.And while wearing a fedora or a cloche this winter will give you sophisticated style, history tells us that felt hats have been worn for centuries with ancient Romans seeing the wearing of hats and caps as a mark of distinction. And when you think about today, wearing a hat provides a beautiful and chic way of distinguishing character and flair.Jasmine Garnsworth of StyleCaster said during year's Haute Couture week in Paris (Jan '15): "Felt hats are popping up on the most stylish show goers. From boaters to fedoras, felt toppers in black, tan, burgundy and bottle green are adding a cool girl flavour to even the most pared-back outfits."And StyleStories cited in March that when a blizzard struck New York: "We watched the coolest girls take cover under dark wide-brimmed styles. It gave them a witchy vibe-intriguing and sexy."The wonderful thing about wearing a felt hat is that it can bring a level of panache - irrelevant if you are wearing jeans or designer trousers; a denim jacket or faux fur coat; brogues or stilettos. A hat can give elegance and grace and a wee bit of envy from those around you!Wearing a hat will put a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your lips, so why not join the global if not ancient trend and pop a hat this winter to make your own mark of distinction. Generate compliments when meeting your girlfriends for lunch; make a stylist statement during your commute to work; and turn heads at the supermarket check-out. In other words - you don't need a special event to wear a hat this winter - just wear one!
