With weather conditions that leave us measuring snow and ice in feet rather than inches, we’ve gone into hibernation mode, and we’re getting pretty bored.
Rather than hunker down indoors and wait for the thaw, some fashionistas have decided it’s time to go medieval on Nature’s ass and pull out the expedition gear. That’s right, people: we’re talking Trapper Hats.

According to Fashionista.com’s reply to Gawker.com’s “What Is Up With” installment, it seems that New York’s fashion-forward women have taken a cue from explorers and ski bunnies, and are donning trapper hats in mass number. This fashion accessory has been seen working in the fiercest of environments, from the ice-cold winds and snow whipping down Broadway to the ultimate hunt for Big Game: Olympus Fashion Week.

Not chic in the traditional sense, the hats are insanely warm and will protect your ears and your blow out. Protect yourself from PETA throwing paint on you for wearing the real fur version, and try this faux fur version from 7Headz. Paired with a leather jacket, fierce handbag and some great oversized shades, this look works from Gstaad to Great Falls. (via SheFindsKristin)
