Trend Alert! Hats

If this isn't a winning trend we'll eat our hat...celebs everywhere are donning the hottest of hats, and we know why. From hiding not-so-perfect hair on days when an extra 20 minutes in bed is much more appealing than the rigmarole that is washing your hair to keeping the sun off your face to simply adding an extra edge to your outfit, hats have a multitude of uses. And with so many style to choose from, it would be impossible to tire of this trend. Having featured heavily on the catwalks of Proenza Schouler, DKNY and Ralph Lauren, current celebrity favourites include the slouchy beanie, seen on The OC chums Rachel Bilson and Mischa Barton, cowboy hats à la Ashley Olsen, good old baker boys, favoured by Posh, and the ever-popular trilby, as modelled by Mischa (she loves a good hat, that girl). Invest in a hat or three and you'll have yourself a perennial style staple - and (forgive us) hat's no joke.
