Starting with a timeless choice that instantly elevates any retro or vintage-inspired look; the beret. A true classic, the beret channels Parisian chic energy, reminiscent of Emily Cooper’s style in the Emily in Paris series.

For days when the winter winds are stronger, go for a beanie. Typically paired with a casual winter ensemble like oversized sweaters with scarves or puffer jackets, a beanie is your go-to everyday hat for casual outings. It’s snuggly and cosy and keeps your head and ears warm. On the days when your winter layers appear chunky and voluminous, without a second-thought go for a beanie.

Faux-fur bucket hats are fuzzy and warm, making them a cosy choice for winter. These casual-chic hats look great with a sporty, streetwear aesthetic but also serve as a stylish statement piece for sleek, layered winter outfits with jackets, turtlenecks, and high-waisted trousers. Bucket hats also come in various materials, like wool, corduroy, and faux fur, which contrast or match beautifully with other layers in the outfit.

As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
