You know the skin-tight beanie? It's never been my hat truth. Some women can pull it off, but teeny, tiny hats have always made me feel like a human pin-head.

When it comes to winter accessories, I'm a lover of big hats. Give me some volume, a giant furry pom pom, a well-executed adult animal ear (it's a thing, I promise)—anything as long as it makes a statement and gives my naturally small head a little oomph!

If you too are a fan of big hats, or are just looking to swap out your beanie for something fresh and new, this season is chock full of large-and-in-charge options. Keep reading for my favorites.

Tory Sport's classic knit hat gets that wintery Nordic vibe just right, and I'm not mad about the pom pom either.

While not technically a hat, big furry earmuffs get the job done while eliminating dreaded hat hair. This pair by UGG is big and fuzzy, just the way I like 'em.
