This Wildkitty hat from Wildcat is perfect for frisky females of the two-legged variety who like to look cute in cold weather. The Wildkitty cap is made of [eco-friendly cotton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear) and features a long woven string to which [matching black mittens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingermittens) are attached. It’s the grown-up version of the mittens you had as a child, only far more fun.

**Implications** - Children's fashion is filled with animal themes and quirky accessories, but these cues are increasingly appearing in fashion geared towards adults. The globalization of the fashion world, and specifically Japanese Harajuku styling, has only added fuel to the fire, with a plethora of [cutesy kid-inspired accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-monchhichi) popping up for adults.
