I don’t own ear muffs but I should. I say this every year, especially when I can’t find a warm hat to fit my big head, and I spend all winter convinced I have frostbite on my ears. THIS year, I tell myself, is the year I will get earmuffs. So I had a look around. Good heavens - who knew there were so many styles out there?
I couldn’t help but smile at these earmuffs with a faux-pearl headband from Boohoo.com. I’m not sure how comfortable they’d be, but they add a little class. In fact, at £10, they’re too sweet to pass up.
Initially, the concept of earmuffs with tassels sounds heinous (tassels! I know, right?) but I’m slowly being won over by this pair. These actually offer something more, they’re they’re a deliberate, conscious part of your outfit. They’re rather on the pricey side at £38 from Urban Outfitters, but even so, there’s something very sleigh-ride-through-Central-Park or ice-skating-in-Somerset-House about them.
My favourite, though, have to be the classic faux-fur style earmuffs, like these ones from Muji. I tried these on in the shop and they’re not only light and comfortable on the head, but they’re OH so soft! They come in three colours - grey, black or cream.
Now… to choose a colour…

Lend me your ears!

I've always thought fur earmuffs make you look like you have a couple of Tribbles stuck to your ears (most amusing Star Trek foe ever).
ReplyDeleteI like knitted earmuffs though. Not convinced on the tassles yet, but they are growing on me.
Bought the cream MUJI earmuffs today although I'm from a tropical country and not going anywhere cold... xDD
