Why has nearly every winter hat got a bobble on the top!!

[shesellsseashells99]

They make me look like I have a cone head and they really dont suit me. Just an observation though that all there seems to be are bobble hats around!!

Oh, I feel for you! I spent ages last year finding a hat without a bobble that worked for me. Finally dug one out of the bottom of the sale bin at the local outdoor shop. Which reminds me, I must find it as it's definitely heading for hat weather. So, no suggestions for you, just a good luck

I have one similar to this , bought it in Prague , must be around 15 years ago and it never seems to date www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_025010507970_-1

Ooh, I love it!!

I love bobble hats....but I do hate the way something comes into fashion and you can only get that...it can be colours, styles, textures, tough luck if it's not your thing

Does everyone buy hats in Prague? It was soooo cold

I think you need a beany/beanie hat instead of a bobble hat.

ARKET, & Other Stories, Cos...all the minimalist brands have plenty of non-bobble options.

Bobble hats are a sailors/mariners thing. The bobble was meant to protect their heads from low beams etc. Look for a beanie hat or snip the bobble off.

Uniqlo have lovely beanies. Their cashmere version is my favourite winter hat.

I’m rather partial to a beret in winter.
Accessorise was always good for these (and beanies, although these make me look like an overweight potato - at last bobble hats elongate your face and increase your height ).

Look in the men's department. No one makes the men wear bloody bobbles......

Guess what I ordered from Debenhams earlier?!

Uniqlo do good beanies. I've got a couple of their cashmere ones.

I bought a bobble hat in a White Stuff sale recently and cut the bobble off. Looks much better without. I don't mind bobbles and have got a couple of hats with them, but it didn't look right on this particular hat

Scissors are your friend

I love my Jack Murphy's Boston fedoras
I have them in Black and Navy.
I also gave a similar style one in dark khaki by a German manufacturer ( the tag is gone from it ) that is waterproof and uncrushable too.
Brilliant

Stylish and practical.
I cannot wear bobble hats because of my face shape and neck length. They do me no favours.
