Cream Faux Fur Hat from Miss Selfridge
Of all the fabrics that instantly spell high end luxury, fur is a timeless classic. Faux fur options have improved hugely over the past couple of decades, looking every bit as glamorous as the real thing. This Cream Cossack Hat from Miss Selfridge is a chic and sumptuous retro accessory that uses faux fur to great effect.
Leather Applique Beret by Vivien Sheriff
While the high street may have visited and revisited many aspects of fifties and sixties fashion throughout recent years, the 1940s is still a look that proves elusive for the mainstream. Accessories including hats were a central part of the style of the forties, making pieces like this Leather Applique Beret by Vivien Sheriff well worthy of a look-in from enthusiasts of the era.
Providing an unusual twist on traditional beret styles, the soft brown leather doesn't spoil the retro appeal, with floral applique detailing adding a quaint English countryside aesthetic. The rigid structure, too, stands out from the crowd of soft-style berets that have been around for years.
The hat is now available from Urban Outfitters for £68.
Wide Brim Beach Hat from River Island
If you're already planning your Summer holidays after the welcome Easter break, picking out the perfect wardrobe is a must. The seventies revival provides some ideal sunshine fare, with items like this Wide Brim Beach Hat from River Island.
The woven paper material means it's light and breathable enough for any weather, while the wide, flopping brim keeps the sun's rays off. The shape has an instantly seventies feel, evoking a decadent poolside style with simplistic monochrome stripes.
It's available now from River Island for £19.99.
