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.
Classic Scarves
Winter isn’t winter without a classic scarf—it’s so important to cover your neck from harsh temperatures and wind. Take your pick between a cheery statement wrap from Holzweiler and Gabriela Hearst, or a neutral fringed mohair number from Gap and Cos.
Winter Toppers
Finding a reason to leave the house and spend more time outside this winter is easy when you can choose between a variety of covetable hats. Try keeping your head warm in a luxe shearling bucket hat from Loewe or a pillbox style from Toteme. Prefer the classic beanie? Look no further than Miu Miu, Guest in Residence, or Marni for ribbed and mohair styles.
But Wait, There’s More...
If you have the classic winter accessories covered, consider one of these less traditional styles that are still extremely functional. Slip on a bib, which provides an extra layer without adding sleeves, cover your entire head with Miu Miu s cashmere hood, or protect your neck with a cozy balaclava from Cos.
