With fall finally here, it seems that more and more of us are keen to wear a hat to keep warm. This accessory instantly adds a stylish finish to any outfit whilst ensuring a unique take on headwear. Tempted to try out this season’s oversized hat? The pros reveal how to wear your statement headgear the right way.
 
The oversized hat is a real statement piece. ‘What we love about this version is that you definitely won’t be spotted wearing the same hat as somebody else, thanks to its originality. It’s also the ideal solution to protecting your hairstyle from the rain this season’.
 
Generally, you should wear your hair tied up when styling with a hat. ‘Here, as the hat has a fair bit of height in the top, you can style your locks into top-knots or simply leave your lengths loose. One word of advice, however, is that if you want to wear wet-look hair, leave your lengths free from styling product. This will prevent any tell-tale marks or indentations your hat may leave behind’.
 
Before wearing your oversized hat, decide which hairstyle you want to wear that day. ‘With an oversized version, you can wear an oversized bun or a low-slung ponytail, depending on your individual tastes. Bear in mind that you’ll need to keep your locks in the same style through the day’.
