As the first frost takes temperatures from brisk to cold, fashion enthusiasts and comfort seekers alike are bringing out their favorite cozy accessory: cute earmuffs. Recently, earmuffs have re-emerged as a buzzy winter trend that’s also a bit retro and totally charming. As fashion-forward individuals navigate dressing for the crisp air and chilly winds of the season, earmuffs offer not only a shield against the cold, but a way to show off your (impeccable) personal style. From sleek and minimalist designs to vibrant and playful options, this season’s earmuffs are poised to elevate every ensemble, transforming the need to keep warm into an opportunity to be chic.
One can make the argument for hats or balaclavas. While effective, these can leave your hair in shambles—something an earmuff simply won’t do. We suggest you embrace the après-ski look by putting on your best wool coat and investing in a nice pair of muffs. Without further ado, scroll on to shop our favorite fashionable earmuffs, plus customer reviews to support our case.
