Headgear

Vogue advices: buy a hat. Or at least a big headband, the one you use for bad-hair days which covers at least half of your head.

If you’re more fashionably courageous then why don’t you try one of the trendy helmets, fedoras, hoods, visors or geometric head accessories. For the night, choose instant sparkle and make use of the clustered embellishements trend.
