If you want to get ahead, get a hat. If you want to survive the increasingly chilly climes Autumn is bringing and prep suitably for winter, we suggest getting a few. As ever, where you can make them as lovely as possible.

The clever people at Hervia carry a range of Thom Browne’s stunning clothes and accessories amongst an ever-growing range of luxurious niceness, expertly and lovingly curated from around the globe. 

Those unfamiliar with Browne may recognize his tailoring, which can best be described as very fitted. In addition, though, he creates a range of shoes, sportswear (I hesitate to say ‘luxe’) and accessories with the same exacting design and beautiful materials. 

This simple beanie hat is a case in question – uber-soft wool and mohair with a stripe detailing, cabling and a delicate fleck running through it, none of which ends up fussy. Granted, it may not be the cheapest wooly hat you’ll ever buy, and of course price often has no correlation with quality. In this case, though, keep it for years and it will be one of the most loved you’ll ever have.

Thom Browne Fold Over Knit Beanie is priced at £110 and is available at www.hervia.com
