Rick Owens Veil-front wool & angora-blend hat

Ok, there's taking risks in fashion and then there are other moments where we can't help but scratch our heads and go, "really?"

This Rick Owens beanie/face mask is one of those "really" moments.

We appreciated Jil Sander's elegant rendition of the snowcap, which featured a 1940s-inspired veil covering just the eyes (as seen on the likes of Anna Dello Russo and Bryan Boy), but this Rick Owens item leaves us feeling itchy, claustrophobic and with a serious case of hat hair.

We're all for experiments, but have a hard time getting behind this one which looks more like a face-kini than a fashionable accessory.

What do you think? Would you wear this Rick Owens hat?
