The secret lies in the ability to combine the incongruous and in the readiness to experiment.

With a coat
In case the headdress is matched to a classic coat, a plain hat with a pompom would be an ideal option.... The model with a fur pom-pom will perfectly complement the look created on the basis of a down coat. The absence of a fur collar on the coat will not interfere with putting on such a hat with it - just add a fashionable scarf to the look.
With a fur coat
A fur coat in itself is a luxurious accessory, therefore, it should be combined with frivolous headdresses with great care so as not to create a feeling of bad taste. Stylists advise to combine knitted hats with a fur pompom with shortened models of fur coats, sewn from the same fur. In this case, the shade of the cap should be in harmony with the color scheme of the main detail of the image.
