One-Minute Makeover: Put a Cap on It

The easiest way to perk up your look?

The easiest way to perk up your look? Today's fashion tip is incredibly easy: put a cap on it. We first started seeing sporty hats last year, and from the looks of these polished street stylers below, the trend is still going strong. Not only will this trend add a tomboy tilt to any look, it's the perfect remedy for bad Winter hair days. Try pairing a sleek leather rendition with a floral or printed dress for a fun play on ladylike-meets-sporty, or style a bright baseball cap with boyfriend jeans, a slouched tee, and oxfords for an effortless, off-duty look. Any way you spin it, it's a no-brainer in our style books. Shop our editors' picks below to add an instant pop of cool to your cold-weather getup now.

Fear Not the Trapper Hat: 9 Versions to Convince You of Its Cool Factor

We admit it: trapper hats can be intimidating.

We admit it: trapper hats can be intimidating. It's daring enough to wear a regular hat, but one with wild fur and long ear flaps? It's a toughie; we get it. But we're here to put an end to any of your hesitations and encourage your stylish foray into trapper hats. Why? Aside from being the best possible hats to ward off the Winter chill, they're also surprisingly adorable. Just check out Jessica Alba looking wintry-cool in her furry trapper hat while in London. They're also the ultimate in fashion-meet-function — what better way to battle the cold and disguise a bad hair day at the same time? The key to working a trapper hat without looking silly is to really own it; exude major confidence, and keep the rest of your outfit a little sleeker (read: avoid layers of plaid and shearling, unless you're going for lumberjack-chic). Ready? Then get clicking. These nine trapper hats were made for staying warm and looking cool.
