For those of us who don’t have the luxury to have natural insulation on our head [read: hair], purchasing a winter hat for the season is a vital decision.  Not only for fashion.  But for the basic human need of warmth.

This year, I took to Twitter to show people what it’s like behind the scenes to find the Official Winter Hat.  Here is how it went down…

Option A:  The Hillbilly Hat.
Hey, I’m from Ohio.  I may have spent my childhood in the suburbs, but I’ve visited farm land before.

 Option B:  The Hillbilly Hat Part 2.
This would have worked, but unfortunately I have not perfected my Elmer Fudd impersonation yet to make this work.

 Option C:  ANIMAAAAAAAAALLLL!
’nuff said.

Option D:  Kermit
Surprisingly, this was the option people were pulling for the most.  Many people were #TeamKermit.  Either a. People have no sense of fashion.  or b. They never want me to date ever again.

Option E:  Basic, yet hot.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE OFFICIAL MATT HAZE 2011-2012 WINTER SEASON HAT!

Since I put this out to the world last week, the one question I’ve been asked most is “Did you buy the Kermit hat???”  I plead the fifth.  And please don’t look in my closet.
