7 Must-Have Accessories for Staying Warm This Winter
With the cold weather here to stay, these accessories are sure to keep you toasty.
With winter comes cold and with the cold comes the need for a wardrobe revamp. Accessories are the easiest way to elevate your wardrobe and keep your hands, heads, and necks warm.
Head Warmers
For all my fuzzy hat lovers out there, make it a statement piece. I would recommend straying from the basic black or white and going for something a little more adventurous like a zebra print or bright color. Pair with a long cashmere coat, jeans or straight-fit pants, a turtleneck, and boots for the perfect winter daytime outfit. For nighttime, the shearling hat is the perfect addition to any simple dress. Pair with some elbow-length gloves and heels and you've got a show-stopping outfit.
The beanie should be a staple in your closet this winter. A tried and true classic, a beanie can go with any outfit. Pair with a puffer, jeans, a crewneck, and sneakers for the perfect laid-back winter look or with a coat, boots, and a sweater for a more elevated look.
The balaclava has been taking all the glory this winter. The perfect all-around head warmer, the balaclava should be the statement piece of your winter outfits. Perfect for any look, the balaclava is best when paired with a puffer or long jacket, jeans or wide-fitting trousers, and a cable-knit sweater with a collared shirt or turtleneck under.
Earmuffs—another tried and true classic. Perfect for those days when a hat just isn't gonna cut it. Style with a puffer, leggings, and moon boots for the perfect ski-lodge look or with a blazer, pants, and sweater for a more elevated look.
Headbands, perfect for any time of year, but for those cold winter days, opt for a knitted or fur-lined one. Style with a long coat, blazer, turtleneck, pants, and sneakers for the perfect on-the-go look.
Hand Warmers
Still stuffing your hands in your jacket pockets? Gloves are the perfect winter-time accessory for keeping your hands warm and adding another element to spruce up your outfits. Whether they're leather, cashmere, or knitted, gloves can be worn with any outfit. For a casual look, wear it with a shearling aviator jacket, jeans, and a sweater. For a more sophisticated look, opt for leather gloves with a long coat, dress, and heels.
Neck Warmers
Perfect for a chilly winter night or hiding from the snow, scarves will always be a winter essential. Depending on what you're feeling, scarves can be a great way to elevate a look through a pop of color or an interesting pattern. Style with a simple outfit, such as a basic jeans, tee, and coat look, and add a scarf that has its own personality, like this one from Acne Studios. For a more elevated look, pair with any going-out ensemble and match the scarf to the color scheme of the look.
