I hate to be there bearer of bad news, but cold weather is coming. And, yes, as you mother told you, you need a hat. Your mom was worried about you getting a cold (doctors debunked that, didn’t they?), but I’m worried about you getting hair damage. Priorities, priorities….

So the next question – how do you wear a hat without flattening your hair? Cashmere, my friend, cashmere. Keeps your head warm, your hair protected, and is a delicate enough weave that it doesn’t leave you with, well, hat hair.

Check out this Juicy Couture Cashmere Hat – warm, adorable, and style-preserving. I love the jeweled flower on the side. I’d personally go with the blush color (“Dress Up”), but the black and gray would look sharp as well.

Find it at Saks.com for $95. And while you are there, consider the matching scarf and gloves – nothing beats cashmere for scarves and gloves.
