I'm intrigued to see where this fashion style goes: The Spirit Hood is a [hat with ears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boss-2) and [scarf-like arms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-coat) that you can wrap around your neck.

The Spirit Hood comes in a variety of animal colors and ears, all with that special warmth a hat gives. Some of these spirit hoods even have lifelike paws on their dangly scarf arms. The Spirit Hood reminds me a bit of Ke$ha and her strange fashion style, but nevertheless it could be an interesting [winter garment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-aspen).
