Hate wearing a winter hat? 11 Style Panel tips to making your beanie, toque, fedora and headband work (minus the hat head)
It’s hat season, though many would like to avoid it. For some of us, the idea of wearing a hat may induce horrific memories of flat, static lifeless hair, and unfortunate style choices we may have made when we were young (we’re looking at you, Doctor Seuss hat). Let’s face it though, winter hats are hard to avoid, and actually quite essential to staying warm all season long.
Beanies and toques were the style of choice for many of our Style Panel members, and there is no question why. Beanies provide ultimate ear warmth while remaining the simplest style to wear on a particularly bad hair day. But if getting hat head is a concern, earmuffs and headbands do just the same trick while leaving your hair relatively untouched. For a more fashion-forward take on the look, trying a Russian-style faux fur headband like Barbara Solomon’s adds an extra touch of luxe.
Question 28: What is your go to hat or head covering for winter and why is it your favourite? Read the answers now! »

We’re celebrating National Sweater Day with 6 picks to don today (but before you check ’em out, watch a granny tell you to!)
Today, the WWF is teaming up with grannies nationwide for National Sweater Day—a day to raise awareness about energy conservation. Led by spokesgranny Gladys, in her poinsettia-patterned knit, the campaign is meant to persuade the thermostat-inclined (guilty as charged) to don a sweater and turn down the heat. As Gladys says, grannies are “natural energy conservers” who put on a sweater when they get cold. And as we learn in the hilarious campaign video, you can sign up to receive a phone call from an on-staff granny who will nag gently remind you (as grannies do) to turn down the heat. We’ve picked our favourite knits to help you conserve energy for the day.

Bringing in some big guns, Line sent a legion of top girls down the runway.

MARK FAST Fall 2009. Mark Large/Zumapress.com/Keystone Press Everywhere I’ve been seeing this intense, starkly angular, raven-haired woman, and wondering, how do I know that face?

Vancouver: Larry, Grace and Terri
By Jennifer Campbell
Though we’ve started peppering our site with the signs of spring fashion, one look out the window will tell you that we’re still in the throes of winter. Luckily for us, designers sent superbly oversized knits down the fall runways.
In the same vein, designer and founding editor of theconveyorbelt.com Terri Potratz has created a line of eco-aware knits to keep out the chill. Larry is a collection of chunky scarves, shawls and cowls hand-knit with B.C. alpaca by Potratz herself.
