Keep your hat on!

Don't think you're a hat person? You're soon to change your mind!

It's not even the depths of winter yet, and already it's getting pretty chilly out there.

Fight the frost and wrap up warm with this guide to picking the perfect hat for your face shape.

Oval faces

For those with oval faces, a good choice is a baker boy hat.

With their funky angles they shorten the face, and come in a wide range of styles and patterns.

This lovely one from monsoon.co.uk picks up on this season's colours, and the website has plenty more to choose from!

Dainty faces

If you have delicate, feminine features, then you are lucky enough to be able to pull off a trilby.

They're the ones with a brim that look like men's hats, in case you were wondering.

Easily made girly with a pin or a ribbon, pair with jeans or a dress for that fashionista vibe.

Be brave with this red trilby from debenhams.co.uk- you're sure to stand out!

Square faces

To balance out angular features, square-faced hat lovers should invest in a bowler.

A bit OTT, you might say, but think how it will keep the rain off your hair!

Choosing the right one can look sassy and stylish - pick one with the brim just above the brow bone for a hint of mystery...

This hat from asos.com should do the trick.

Petite faces

You can't go far wrong with a beret if you have a petite frame.

Again a flexible choice as it can be worn in several ways, a woolen beret is subtle enough not to be overbearing, but warm enough for those chilly days.

Try this one from newlook.co.uk - coming in a range of colours, you might find it hard to choose.

All faces

A beanie style hat suits everybody, and is easy to pull on to cover windswept hair.

We're not talking skull-tight skater boy beanies here - think those big, kind of baggy knitwear indie-style hats.

Versatile, cute and cosy, these can be worn over the head or tucked into various shapes, and really are for everyone.

Get the look with this one from topshop.co.uk.

Of course, you could always go for earmuffs instead...or a balaclava - but then someone might mistake you for fonejacker. Best avoided.
