Whats everyones opinion on ear muffs?
If you saw someone in the street wearing them, would you point and laugh? Would you think they look stupid? Or would your reaction be no differrent to if someone was wearing a hat?

Im yet to wear my earmuffs outside, im scared and embaressed but it needs to be done.
I reckon they're nice ones, not fluffy, black, and made out of nice fleecey wool type stuff and they match my scarf and gloves
I still think i look stupid in them, though. Not unlike a pilot
eta: excuse the worried look on my face (its because im worried about my muffs!!)
They look really good on you, they're very subtle and not the enormous furry things I had as a child (and loved). Important to keep the old lugholes toasty anyway, earache is horrific. Where did you get 'em?
i got mine from claires accessories.
They're all about £4-5. theres a wide selection!! I originally got some skull ones with a plastic band, but it digged into my head so i swapped for these ones. They're made from special thermal stuff too!! they also have bigger fluffy ones in various colours
obviously not men.
Yeah exactly (I'm in a childish mood, so I was tempted to add "ner ner ner ner" Thought better of it )
I saw a guy wearing some horrific reindeer ones last christmas (imagine an ear muff version of the reindeer jumper from Bridget Jones). The worrying thing was i think he thought he looked cool in them :eek2:
Really attractive/hip and edgy types can pull off anything..
Personally I think ear muffs are cool. But you could just wear one of those sherpa hats... like badly drawn boy =P
Even the brash ones aren't the silliest thing people are wearing at the moment. And as has been said, at least your shell likes will be toasty!
ETA: blah think i bought the same ones as you. they are mega cute! don't be embarassed going outside in them, wear them with pride. And if anyone points and laughs, point and laugh at their cold, chapped, tomato-coloured ears
Yeah, what the others say. Wear them! F*** fashion!
Do and wear what makes you happy and stick your tongue out at everyone else ( I wanted to say something more vulgar, but thought I'd already been sufficiently so...)
Oh yeah, and I have friend who has worn ear muffs (plain black) for two winters now, I'm sure she'll be wearing them again soon.
Personally I wear hats and think I look cute, though in reality I perhaps look stupid, but I really don't care! I like to be warm!
Hi all. Anyone know where in the UK, or on the web, I can buy those ear muffs like two hands....you know the "la, la, la, I can't hear you" type of novelty ones? :rolleyes:
i reckon i could pull them off. might get a pair
Do it :yes:
I only got them for pure warmth for a one off night last year, then discovered they didnt look all that bad! so kept wearing them. I never got laughed at by anyone other than my boyfriend who said I looked like a toddler. But he thinks lots of things I do and like make me like a toddler, I think its his way of showing affection
I stopped caring what other people think the moment i stepped outside and didnt get ear ache, for the first time in years .
Me too. Some people have made genuine nice comments, and I've had some nasty/sarcastic ones too. Tbh, I like mine, they are warm aand cosy-I don't care whether other people like them or not.
Got mine a few years ago when I went to New York - brown ones from Accessorize. :thumb:
Gonna grab some red ones I reckon...But shall wait 'til it gets colder.
So cute.
