Knitted Hats: Thumbs up or down?

We talked about ushanka's, the oh-la-la French beret's and the stylish Fedora's but how about the coziest of them all - knitted hats. It took me till this year to find a chunky knit hat that I actually like and it doesn't make me look like a boy:) A friend once told me to always let your hair show (be messy) from under your hat and a peek-a-boo loose side braid is always a yes for that extra feminine touch. Loves, what kind of hats do you wear during winter? xo

P.S: Also, perfect for winter: cozy sweaters and huge scarves!
P.P.S:  This photo totally proves that a knitted hat can look super stylish.
