Maybe it’s that Christmas is fast approaching or maybe it’s the dip in temperatures here on the East Coat. Either way, I find I am actually enjoying wearing a cozy wool coat, some stylish gloves, and earmuffs. Did I really just say that? Earmuffs?
Yes, it’s true. I admit that I have a lifelong addiction to this quirky fashion statement. And, at least lately, I’m not the only one! I truly felt vindicated when the Washington Post ran a great piece about earmuffs by style leaders. Fun and fashionable!
And apparently, the boys agree. In a Glamour magazine piece, several guys were asked about the much-maligned piece of headgear. Their reactions might surprise you!
- Guy #1, (age 33): “Women in earmuffs – two enthusiastic thumbs up. They are cute and have a sense of humor.”
- Guy #2, (age 28): “Oooh, earmuffs. They conjure up a sexy innocence, like a plaid skirt and knee-high wool socks.”
- Guy #3, (age 25): “They have a coziness to them, and whenever I see a girl in earmuffs, I just think ‘adorable.’”
Want to try this trend? Some of the best I’ve found:
Macy’s is a great go-to store for anything trendy. They carry Calvin Klein
Jacquard-Logo Faux-Fur Earmuffs for just $24 (normally $40). At Bloomingdales, I found Rex Rabbit Faux Fur Earmuffs in four different shades for $36. Or, splurge on a pair of cozy UGG Fleece Earmuffs for $65.00 at Nordstrom.
Not quite ready to go all-in on this look? Try an inexpensive pair of black faux fur earmuffs from Amazon for under $10!
