This winter, I've mostly been channelling Compo from 'Last of the Summer Wine' and been wearing a short, cable knit beanie hat from Topman. Little did I did realise, I should have looked to another unlikely style hero - East 17's Brian Harvey. Yep, him of run-yourself-over-to-save-a-jacket-potato fame seems to be the man of the moment when it comes to East Londoners' headwear inspiration.
The tall beanie is everywhere right now and is indicative of the fashion industry's wider love of all things 90s. Cool kids of the moment - Harry Styles, Cara Delevingne and Rihanna - are sporting the look, and you can't walk down Kingsland Road without passing several of the peanut-shaped woolly headwarmers.
If you want to get the look, check out some of the High Street styles below. Look for neons and brights to make the transition from winter to warmer weather, but please don't sit directly in front of me at the Rio and leave your hat on for the whole of Django Unchained. Just saying.
