A craze currently taking London by storm is 'hear muffs'. The perennial problem of how commuters can look cool and stay warm as they pound the pavements to work in sub zero temperatures has been solved by the capital's iconic John Lewis department store which has seen a rush on its line of ear accessories in recent weeks.
They connect to your iPod/iPhone/Phone/MP3 player or basically anything with a 3.5mm headphone jack and 40mm drivers ensure great sound production too according to the manufacturer.
Reasonably priced at £10 or around Dh60, these crocheted muffs come in a variety of colours from black to marl grey. At the other end of the spectrum (and minus the music) are logo embossed, shearling sheepskin earmuffs from Ugg which retail for - quick, cover your ears - up to £70 or approximately Dh460. Available in colours ranging from tan and chestnut brown to black they can be found in stores like Harvey Nichols or online at www.uggaustralia.com and www.johnlewis.com
