We’re here to tell you it’s time to buy a hat. A big hat. Why wouldn’t you? It will keep your bouncing blow-dry safe from British drizzle, keep coughing commuters at bay and look pretty darned good too. Here are our favourite picks of fedoras and wide brim floppy hats to be seen in this season, stay incognito and look like you have a team of paparazzi following you in these stylish oversize hats that Lindsay Lohan would be caught leaving the stage door in.

It’s our favourite. Our absolute favourite. Yes it’s a little pricey, but would you look at the thing? It’s stormed straight to the top of our Christmas lists, please on please Santa, send us our Saint Laurent Wide-Brim Studded Hat (£2,035.00).

Marks and Spencer can always be relied on for good quality head gear. This Pure Wool Fedora Bow Hat (£25.00) is begging to be paired with a shining black boots and the cosiest of cocoon coats.

This & Other Stories Wide-Brimmed Hat (£29.00) offers something a little different with its peacock blue sheen. It’s a statement-maker without being overpowering.

If your outerwear look errs on the dark and black side, lighten things up with this camel coloured Maison Michel Fara Capeline Felt Hat (£295.00). It’s a great option for those of us with darker hair too.

For utter 70s glamour, make a grab for this Catarzi Floppy Hat With Grosgain Trim (£35.00). It’s big, it’s floppy, and it has one huge bow. What more could you want?
