Y'all. I say this with great love for you all and true compassion in my heart for your fashion choices.

But I am not believing how many of you grown women admitted yesterday (WITH PRIDE!) that YOU WEAR HATS WITH EARS. I think Tim Gunn would agree with me when I say, That just ain't right. But you're all so fabulous that I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.

The Stir reader Julie did have one request in the comments of that post:

I'd love to see your recommendations for winter hats ... I always like to wear something a bit funky myself. I live in NY so winter can be depressing enough as it is, I think fun winter hats make it just a bit less humdrum.

Julie, I think I can help!

First, let's take a look at Taylor Swift. The girl loves winter hats, and she wears them well. You really can't go wrong with a red knit beanie and as I've proven already, they are very versatile!

And of course, there's the Taylor Swift-endorsed beanie. This Cassady Beanie (Delias, $14.50) is a great price and comes in several different colors. Choose a bright one to liven up dull winter days.

What do you think of these hats? Are you on this side of the fence? Or do you prefer ears and animals?
