Hats are big news this year with beanies at Alexander Wang and Burbery Prorsum. berets at Marc Jacobs, snoods at  Alexander McQueen, caps at Dolce and Gabanna, all sorts of hats at Richard Nicholl and pointy witches hats at Luella.

Hats are a great way of making a real style statement and also keep you head and ears warm (you know how much body heat you can lose from your head?). The key to wearing  a hat with style is putting it on just right and looking like you haven’t tried too hard. This seasons beanie is a really easy hat to wear and goes with anything, just about. Here are some of my favourite hats for keeping your ears warm in style this winter.

This Miss Sixty  hat is a simple design but the warm orange colour will definitely make you stand out in the crowd.

This North Face Memphis Bell Womens Beanie looks great with dark hair and has a lovely delicate design.

I love this velvet rose corsage beanie. It is so pretty and has a lining for additional warmth.

If you want to add a bit of designer style to a plain black coat, this Missoni hat is just what you need.

This bobble hat has real character.  A great stylish option for a walk in the countryside.
