"People used to have winter caps rather than hats in their wardrobe during chilly weather, but this is changing. Hats are getting into the wish lists of a lot of people. Of course we are not as elaborate as the west on the hats but, yes, a trendy set of a few does take you through the nice winter brunches," said designer Vandy Mehra.
The newsboy hat, once considered a men's accessory, has made an entry into the women's closet this season.
"The newsboy hat can be worn at casual as well as dressy events. The beret is also a classic yet relaxed option for hat lovers. Try darker toned hats with a pop of colour. Also, along with protection from the sun, try choosing hats which can also be worn backwards for a nine to nine look (from morning till evening)," said designer Nidhi Munim.
What's hot in terms of prints and colours?
Checkered and monogram prints, fuchsia, hot pink, coral, jade green and grey are in, say experts.
