I love them so much I actually have 3 of them. DH asked what I'd like for Christmas and I said I'd maybe like one in navy. He then tells me he actually doesn't like my big pom pom wooly hats and said they are made for people in their teens. What do you think?

Mine is just wool perhaps it doesn’t count as a bobble hat
I am very inexperienced with hats lol

My teenage gd wears them and her friends but hey so do I.

I am 62 and have a hat with large pom pom. I wear it when I take my dog out for a walk. If DH said he didnt like it I would just buy a few more to annoy him !!

I’ve wear one, it has a huge fluffy Pom Pom which is detachable so that it never has to be washed and it stays huge and fluffy, I love it.

I wear bobble hats and the hats that cover your ears and have dangle bits with pop poms. I actually don't care what anyone else things they keep me warm!

I love my woolly hats with pom poms (Only one on each hat!) always good for keeping the ears warm when I go for my daily walk. Haven’t succumbed yet this year, but the hats are ready as soon as it’s a little colder - but def not good for rainy days like today! ☔️?

The best thing about getting to this age is feeling free to wear and do whatever you like without caring what anyone else thinks. You go for it with the pom pom hats; have one in every colour and a rainbow one for good measure. If your husband doesn't want to buy you them, treat yourself!

Well I have a purple adult pom pom hat that I wore when I went skiing, though I wore it when I wasn't skiing too.

I think those are sharp looking! Wear what you want. They are sold by many stores for people of any age!

Whatever you like. I havve a hat with a large pompom - not "fur" its a "woolly" one and I find that is it noticeable.

Anyone wearing one sends a message to me saying. 'Look at me, I'm special'- and they're right - they have the confidence to wear something that could look silly, but somehow doesn't, on them.
On me it would look ludicrous!

I did buy one but found the weight of the pom pom awful. Unless it fits like a skull crusher apparently the pom pom just drags the hat backwards so I have since been told.

Each to their own. I don't like hats at all - stems from being forced to wear a 'pixie' hood when young.

Personally I think that you can’t beat a balaclava for keeping your neck and ears warm! I suppose you could jazz it up with a pom-pom! ?!

I don’t want the hat, but a cute fluffy detachable pom pom sounds nice, a bit like a pet.?

I have a teddy bear hat with 2 little poms poms for ears. I love it - I have matching mittens too.
My hubby hates it and says" you're not going out in that daft hat are you?"
Yes I am

I've never found a hat that really suits me so I usually rely on a hood. However on a city break in Edinburgh my ears were getting so cold I bought a mustard yellow pompom hat in Primark, intending to throw it out when I got home. Actually I thought it looked quite good so decided to keep it and wear it more often.
Must go and find it!

My friend knitted me a cloche style hat but I looked like the Queen Mother in it.
I prefer this, mine has corks all round it.

lemongrove

You knitted that quickly River ?

One of my many talents lemon

I like to keep busy - maybe Sherman will like this one!

Saw lovely hats with Pom poms in Marks and Spencer Today . They had nice scarves snd gloves to match .

Llamedos13 Sun 25-Oct-20 17:17:42

Here it is Lemongrove, I must say the hat looks so lonely without it’s huge fluffy Pom Pom on top

Florida12 Sun 25-Oct-20 17:42:52

Aww as long as you like them and they keep you warm, enjoy.
I go through different phases of bobble, beanie, oversized slouch.x

Pudding123 Sun 25-Oct-20 17:52:08

I am 66 and have 3,I love them and they suit me,plus if I haven't washed my hair I look presentable when I am on my walk.

chrissy08 Sun 25-Oct-20 18:34:50

I wear them all the time.

Aepgirl Sun 25-Oct-20 19:02:30

My daughter has one and looks lovely in it. I decided to try one on and looked a total idiot. I then decided they are for the young.
