The place to hang a hat is on a hat stand

This list was intended to coincide with the glorious sunshine getting under our collars at Hay Festival this weekend, where hats were the perfect solution for hot-headed bookworms. Unfortunately here comes the rain so we’ve had to settle on our Top 6 Hats to use as shelter in the downpour. Taking our favourite headwear from A/W 11, i-D Online presents a catwalk countdown of suitably stylish headgear. Whatever the weather, keep it together.

Jil Sander
Raf Simons combines couture with ski bunny. This hood meets ski hat is full to bursting with colour and print. Say it loud.

Miu Miu
Wool baseball caps at Miu Miu contrasted perfectly with ultra feminine 1940′s silhouettes, allowing a little tom boy into the mix.

Louis Vuitton
There was nothing subtle about the dominatrix meets military hats strapped tightly under the girl’s chins at Louis Vuitton.

Marc Jacobs
With undertones of the dominatrix also at the Marc Jacobs show, this hat puts a deliciously fun twist on sexual power with blue fur and polka dots.

Prada
Amelia Earhart in shaggy sheep’s fur. This aviator hat was the climactic ending to an array of head wear ranging from wool to python skin at Prada.

Lanvin
Wide brimmed Amish style hats at Lanvin, despite maintaining a strong presence, still managed to subtlety complement a beautifully pared down collection.
