With Winter Bash 2017 nearing its end - another 3 days and all the hats go back in the box - why don't we take the opportunity to show off our hats and display our achievements? You can screenshot your hats and post an answer below, and show off your posh headgear!

Post hats, hats, and more hats! Those that you're especially proud of, or that you simply look good in - all are welcome ;)

    hmm... looks like many people here consider this as kind of poll hence off topic. Personally I think it's on topic, but it appears to be only the minority opinion and that the question is going to be closed and heavily downvoted. (Just saying, it doesn't mean you should delete - let those who hate fun delete it themselves if they can. That said, I can't find past similar threads, and sure there were, so it means they were all deleted)

    This is pretty squarely on-topic. After all, we usually wrap up the event with a blog post that showcases some interesting or funny uses of hats, what better way to not overlook something than to set up a place where folks can just submit them? I'll reopen this if it gets closed.

    @TimPost but the question isn't "post your favorite"... it's "post them all"... which isn't interesting to me. It's one thing to post your full hat collection view or just a couple of favorites and another to post an individual image of your avatar wearing each and every hat.

    Tim supports having a place to do this. The place to do this is Chat, where you can establish a room specifically for it.

    Or the place to do it is here, since here is fine. Tim didn't mention anything about chat while advocating that it was on topic.

    @Nij Winterbash is a function/usage of SE, at this time of year. There are other questions about Winterbash that are fully on-topic and about what they reference or how to obtain them. Would you also argue that those are off-topic? Or the Moose and Silly Putty question, which is in a similar vein to this, just not started by the SE team. Is that question off-topic?

    This isn't a question about function or usage. It's just "tell me about stuff you've got". A question asking for the strangest questions or most amusing answers from the year is equivalent - it would be downvoted and closed pretty quickly. I also downvoted the Moose thing as well, as I fail to see how it had any relevance to running SE. @Kendra

    @Nij To be fair, I fail to see how the Moose thing - a question started by a member of SE staff on behalf of SE to announce a network wide contest / promotion would not be relevant to SE.

Here are some of my favorite hats/ones with interesting stories. For a full list of my hats, see revision history.

Hero Of Time | Sherlock

This one was interesting - the question I asked for this hat unexpectedly hit HNQ, and it's now my top-voted question on the network... and I also posted a late self-answer to it that got 50+ upvotes and the Sherlock hat, none of which I had intended to happen when I asked the question (I had expected it to not go higher than 10).

This is possibly my favorite. The way the background of the picture works makes it look like it's slightly cloudy, and the bow in the hair works. Overall, it colors up the picture a bit.

I find that the Rep Cap works equally well as a cap and as a beard.

Some people here think this hat is a beard. They don't know it's really a mustache:

    @NogShine Actually it's a onesie, not a T-shirt. And the fun fact is that I won it (or actually my son won it) after wearing a hat on Winter Bash 2014 in a very cute way.

I'm proud of a couple hats that just don't look all that good on me. (Wait, when did I develop a fashion sense??) But here are some others.

I always try to find something to do with the coffee cup in my gravatar. This year, something disturbingly bright and cheery is trying to crawl out of it, Alien-style:

Just Jesting

This hat provides a good disguise:

Silencium

This hat doesn't stand out as a hat; maybe I'm just having a bad hair day:

And YOU Get a Hat!

And, well, even if it doesn't look particularly splashy on me, I am pretty proud of this one:
