We rely heavily on our coats come winter, whether it be a shearling style or the modern scarf coat. But the best winter accessories are a must when the temperatures begin to drop further, and stepping outside requires more than outerwear and base layers. These staples don’t lack in style either; there are plenty of chic and sophisticated little garments from a plethora of our go-to brands, like cashmere gloves from Loulou Studio and Max Mara, and printed scarves from Acne Studios and Holzweiler. For the minimalist, look to luxe neutral options from Loewe and Arch4. Bold and bright styles from Naadam and Marni will appeal to the maximalist, but are just easily key to liven up a monochromatic look. Basically, there’s a winter accessory for every personality and occasion.

If you prefer to bundle up without the extra bulk, a cashmere bib, is a clever alternative to the classic winter scarf. Meanwhile, a wool bandana is the perfect addition to a traditional puffer jacket or oversized leather layer. To top off all your winter looks, opt for furry pillbox hats, which have a vintage-inspired lean, or shearling bucket styles for an unexpected fluffy detail.
Below, a winter accessories checklist for finishing off your cold-weather attire.
Hand Warmers
Say so long to stuffing your hands in your jacket pockets for warmth. Whether you choose classic leather driving gloves or a pair of shearling mittens, keeping your extremities covered has never looked so good. Brighten up a winter day with Suzie Kondi’s mittens, which are handcrafted in a poppy red cashmere. Or, keep things simple with Mango’s beige cashmere gloves. Leather gloves from Agnelle are a luxe choice for evening wear.
