Our Favorite Winter Accessories
What better time that winter to indulge in accessories? During the summer we’re trying to keep as cool as possible and that usually means we’re slacking in the accessories department. However, winter is not the time we want to be wearing less, it’s actually quite the opposite. Gloves, ear muffs,and scarves, you name it, we want it! Check out some of our favorite winter accessories and why we’re obsessed with them below.
Hand Gear
These Surell Accessories Fingerless Fur Mittens are just as useful as they are extravagant, we promise. These black fur mittens are available in four additional colors including ivory, gray and pink and are great for lounging at the ski lodge after hitting the slopes but we’d also recommend throwing these on as you run to the supermarket for more hot cocoa because why not add some glamor to your groceries?
On a more casual and maybe practical note, these Portolano Napa Leather Gloves are our top pick for leather gloves this winter. They are a great pair of classic leather gloves which style nicely with any outfit this season. We love leather gloves because as opposed to knit wool or cashmere gloves they are more elevated and chic but also do a great job at keeping your hands warm in this cold, rainy and potentially even snowy weather.
Another great hit in the hand wear department from Portolano are these Long Cashmere Tech Gloves. We added these to our winter wish list because as avid users of our phones and ipads these gloves are touch screen sensitive. Which means we get to keep our hands warm while we text, tweet and Instagram in the cold outdoors. These 13” gloves are also a great gift for not only yourself but for the tech obsessed guy or gal in your family or friend group.
Head Gear
Are ear muffs really a necessity? Or is a bucket hat or a beanie the better option? Who cares about functionality, we are obsessed with these Gorski Fox Fur Ear Muffs. We were obsessed with the Instagram ear muff filter a few months ago and now we can have the real thing! We’re embracing all of our childhood Spice Girl fantasies with these fabulous ear muffs and who cares if they’re not as functional as a beanie, we look chic and that’s all that matters.
Okay, okay onto a more functional accessory: the beanie. The beanie is the standard headgear when it comes to winter wear and this one is going to give your collection an upgrade. This Moncler Logo Beanie With Faux Fur Pom is the only beanie we’re wearing and promoting this winter. Moncler may be famous for their puffer jackets but that same technology that they use to keep our upper bodies warm is also found in this thick, cable knit beanie complete with the most adorable faux fur pom pom.
Scarves
A giant scarf can be great for so many things. For one, there are infinite styling options. You can use it to shield your head from the rain, you can wrap it around your shoulders as a shawl or you can style it in the traditional sense and tie it around your neck. This Burberry Giant Check Gauze Scarf is the perfect example of a giant scarf that you can style infinite ways. We love this classic Burberry print because not only is it so iconic and recognizable but it goes with literally any outfit and the quality is simply *chef’s kiss.*
Another great scarf we are shopping for this winter is from Loewe. This Striped Mohair Scarf is a fabulous mohair blend of bright blue, green and white which is just what the doctor ordered to brighten up these bleak winter days. Mohair, wool and calf leather give soft and warm texture to this scarf and the extra long length makes for an exaggerated silhouette that can be styled multiple ways. One way we’re styling this scarf is with our favorite matching denim jeans and denim jacket for a fun Canadian Tuxedo vibe and layering this bright, colorful scarf on top.
