Nose warmers are a thing now. We have seen everything!
What's the story
Come winters and it's time to take out all the scarves, mittens, sweaters, jackets and socks. While these cover most parts of the body, the nose is left out.
But fret not, nose warmers have ascended to the global market and they have become a rage.
Though the resemblance to a clown's nose is uncanny, the reviews have been pretty stunning.
The beginning
The owner realized the problem is extremely common
The Nose Warmer Company, which gave structure to this brilliant(?) idea, said they started out with a small business.
The website of the UK based company reads, "Our business started small, with one nose warmer made specifically to do the job of warming up a nippy nose."
When the owner realized she wasn't the only one facing the problem, the company was born.
Designs and cost
Be spoiled for choice
Just because they warm noses, doesn't mean they have to be boring. And the company is doing a darn good job at it.
The knitted warmers are available in fleece, crocheted wool, and faux fur fabrics. You can also choose from a variety of prints and colors.
One nose warmer costs $12 (Rs. 896 approximately), meaning it isn't an expensive buy.
Reactions
People don't doubt its efficiency, but the looks
This unique product has prompted mixed reactions from netizens. While no one is dismissing how useful it can be, many are concerned it won't look good.
@BaristaObsessed tweeted: I've always needed this, however, I've always known that this would look ridiculous.
And @Nerdlinda tweeted: I legit need this because my nose is always cold. But wouldn't be caught dead wearing this.

Personal
Yes they are weird, like every other fashion trend
Sure, some might never 'warm' to nose warmers. But when have new fashion trends ever been normal? From Kylie Jenner's lips to thong jeans and straw dresses, we have seen it all. While these trends hardly did anything good, nose warmers have something to flaunt.
