Mini Rodini Faux Fur Fold Up Hat

This is one of those pieces that makes you want winter to hurry up.

Most faux fur hats can feel a bit over the top, but this doesn't. I think it's because everything else has been kept so simple. The shape is almost old-fashioned, with its soft bonnet silhouette and ties under the chin, while the lilac lining quietly peeks through whenever it moves. It's a lovely little surprise against all that creamy faux fur.

The fur itself looks unbelievably soft. Not just warm, but the sort of texture children instinctively reach up and stroke. And because it frames the face rather than sitting flat like a beanie, it has a completely different feel once it's on.

I also love the striped ties. They stop the hat feeling too precious and add just enough colour without distracting from the simplicity of the design. They're practical too, because a hat tied under the chin has far less chance of ending up abandoned halfway through a walk.

This isn't really a hat that disappears into an outfit. It's the first thing you notice, and I'd build everything else around it. A simple coat, chunky boots and rosy cheeks are all it needs.
