How to Wear It Thursdays: Cloche Hats

One of my favorite hats is a cloche. They are so elegant and not many people wear them. I tend to stick with simple black or winter white ones, but I couldn't resist this one with a purple feather. Gorgeous!

Perfect for when you're going to be spending a lot of time walking around out in the cold. Pair it with a matching coat, and you've got the basics for a ton of compliments throughout the day. Keep it classy - mixing a cloche with motorcycle boots, for example, really isn't going to work. It does best when paired with very feminine accessories: lovely sunglasses, heels, scarves. Mix it with a swing coat or a flat cut, but keep the coat length long. They look lovely with trenches, especially if you're wearing a silk scarf. And to keep the mysterious look going, don't forget your favorite Tom Ford fragrance blend and coordinating shades.
