Some of my favorite examples are the vibrant and jubilant knits created by New Englander Liz Polkinghorn, who owns Bespolk Hats (bespolk.com). One of this year’s most-trending designs is the cuff hat — a European style that has the advantage of looking terrific with almost all styles of coats and other outerwear, from formal to casual. And in case you were wondering if trapper hats have gone away — far from it. Of course, you’ll need one more essential to get through winter hat season, and that’s a topnotch product to de-frizz hair once you’ve arrived and taken your hat off. The most effective out there is Instant De-Frizzer ($34 on livingproof.com) from Living Proof, the innovative Massachusetts-based company.
