Kate Moss is no stranger to leopard pieces — here she is wearing leopard jeans in 2011 — and she definitely stays loyal to the wild print. The supermodel was just spotted strolling the streets of London wearing a statement-making leopard coat over a black turtleneck and black skinny jeans. For accessories, Kate chose a wide-brim hat, a black leather Louis Vuitton satchel, black ankle boots, and a long blue necklace for a pop of unexpected color. Re-create this street style by investing in an animal-print coat or jacket, then sport it over all black for that quintessential Kate Moss look.

Trend Alert: Winter Wide Brims

Just when I thought Winter headgear was getting a little boring, out pops Kelly Osbourne in her Winter wide brim hat.

Just when I thought Winter headgear was getting a little boring, out pops Kelly Osbourne in her Winter wide brim hat. No doubt, these woolen cozies add a dose of sophistication to any outfit. I prefer them paired with sleek separates or simple sheaths. Or, take a cue from Kelly and pair your wide brim topper with shimmery pieces for extra punch.

Trend Alert: Wide(r) Brim Hats

Maria! In Acapulco, Mexico, no less.

Maria! In Acapulco, Mexico, no less. Check out model Mariacarla Boscono at the Acapulco Moda Nextel press conference-looking Summer glam in a wide(r) brim hat and gold brocade dress. And you know what? I realized that a shorter-rim hat doesn't provide as much sun protection as a floppy or wider-brim fedora. So may I suggest a super-chic, super coverage hat for long Summer days? Maria's fedora still manages to be menswear cool . . . follow her lead and pair it with a glamorous dress for optimum decadence.
