The Look: "Eskimo" Hats

You know you want one. You've seen them sold by street venders, in stores, and you have at least one friend who wears one. But the concern is, how do I wear it? Could I pull that off? Check out these four ways to rock an "eskimo" hat, from staying warm to looking cool.


The classic look. Wear it with the ears flopped down, and the fuzz on the sides tucked under. This will definitely keep you warm, unless it's windy -- then the ear flaps might go flying!


Okay, it looks a little weird. But you will be very warm. Very. If it's really that cold out, people won't give you looks -- they'll understand.


This look is for the coolsters. It looks really good, but it might only cover half of your ears. Your pick. To do this you just clip in the back!


The fuzz on the sides can be worn up or down. This is what it looks like if you choose to wear them folded up.


So there you go! The very versatile hat. If you're thinking of going to college in a cold climate, I would highly suggest purchasing one before they run out for the season. You can find them for about $10, and the hats are sold in both solid colors and prints. Make sure you compare a few before you purchase, because some have thicker fur than others. Stay warm!
