Frost vs Faux Fur

Faux fur hat steals the limelight this season

Grab the winter warmers ladies and gents, for we have a frost a coming!

As weather forecasts warn for a fortnight of frost, sleet, and snow, we are being forced to not only bulk buy tins of beans, but stock up on warm clothing. For me, this meant trawling the high-street for a hat. But not any hat could cure the cold head and chilly ears…

Faux fur. After being given a firm nod of approval from the designer gods, the fluffy material has elbowed its way to centre stage in not only the winter catwalks, but our very own high-street stores. Paraded around in the form of jackets, heeled boots, bags and hats, it seemed only natural to hunt down my very own flurry trapper hat.

Despite having been already witnessed in last year’s winter fashion, faux fur has made a strong re-appearance, and has since been flooding the shops with warm clothing and accessories. Seen in various of high-street retailers such as Primark, NewLook, and Topshop, fur hats have unsurprisingly been fighting their way to the top of the fashion ladder for both men and women. Providing not only intense warmth, but a quirky look, the trapper hat is this week’s top buy to cure the winter chills.

Last week the onesie won the love, however this week the furry hat has stolen the limelight with pride. Note to self: Don’t wear the two together…disastrous fashion move.
