As freezing temperatures start to approach, dressing up to go out seems to be less ideal for many of us. It becomes increasingly difficult to leave the house in anything other than pajamas. Accessorizing a plain outfit in cold weather is even more difficult when it feels like you have to choose between staying warm and looking chic.
Here are 7 accessories that allow you to have the best of both worlds this winter:
Acne Studios Wool Scarves
Wool Scarves are the ULTIMATE winter accessory, they’re warm, comfortable, and pair perfectly with any coat or jacket. Sometimes it can be very difficult to find a wool scarf with a unique pattern or a more exciting color that will actually match the outfit of choice. Luckily for us, Acne Studios turns these versatile accessories into the centerpiece of an outfit. With all the different color patterns they offer, their checkered wool scarves are the perfect way to stay cozy and look absolutely stunning no matter where you have to be this winter.
2. UGG Earmuffs
Earmuffs are probably some of the best head accessories; they look absolutely stunning and will keep you warm during these freezing temperatures. I know that Hallmark Christmas movies make it seem like earmuffs are only worn during blizzards or snowfall but the truth is they are very much appropriate to wear during any type of cold weather. Not only are they super comfortable, cozy, and adorable to wear, but they can also protect you from any ear damage caused by extreme winds in cold weather. The Ugg brand, famously known for their cozy winter boots, happens to make the most comfortable and flattering earmuffs I have ever worn. Their earmuffs are made from a dyed shearling fur and come in many different colors such as black, white, pink, and even their signature chestnut color with white fur. The UGG shearling earmuffs are definitely an essential accessory for winter 2022.
3. UGG Faux Fur Headbands
While throwing on a beanie and calling it a day is easy and simple, accessorizing with a warm fur headband is way more flattering and fun. The Ugg Faux Fur Headbands are super warm and comfortable, and they have just the right amount of stretch to fit any head size and avoid the gruesome headaches. The UGG faux fur headband is super soft and comes in both black or white. Having one dark and one light shade is excellent as it allows you to coordinate the headband with outfits of any color without worry. The headband has a knot on one end of it that imitates the look of a hair bow and presents a graceful appearance. It’s the perfect hair accessory that will have you feeling comfortable, warm and stylish when you’re on the go.
4. Djerf Avenue Stretch Headbands
Headbands are easily the most timeless accessory of all, they can be worn in nearly all types of dress codes including casual, business casual and even formal. During the cold weather, wearing your hair up isn’t always practical because wearing it down can keep you a lot warmer. With that being said, wearing a headband with your hair down can really brighten up an outfit, and it will fit any dress code you need to follow. The Djerf Avenue stretch headbands are THE headbands to have this winter. Matilda Djerf, the owner of Djerf Avenue, has a keen eye for timeless pieces and uses them to create effortlessly beautiful, chic looks that catch everyone’s attention.
Her stretch headbands are so simple, yet so perfect for everyday wear. The headband is a loose and stretchy knit material and is offered in a few patterns/shades such as “rainbow”, “sky”, “black”, and “summer berries”. If you need a headband that feels comfortable and really pieces an outfit together, Djerf Avenue stretch headbands are what you need this winter.
5. Burberry Vintage Check Hairband
As I said before, headbands are some of the best accessories to own, they never go out of style and follow every dress code. The Burberry Vintage Check Hairband is a classic and the ultimate timeless accessory to own. The soft beige base color followed by their signature black, red and white plaid pattern makes this headband a true masterpiece. The classic Burberry check pattern will always have its grip on the fashion community and will serve its purpose this winter as the effortlessly elegant headband.
6. Vivienne Westwood Broken Pearl Drop Earrings
I like to say there are two types of girls in this world: silver girls and gold girls. The moment we receive our first ear piercings is typically when this is decided, and it is very rare that we ever switch to the other. The only exception however, are pearls. Pearl jewelry is perfect for everyday wear, its glistening off-white color has a beautiful, soft appeal that pairs with nearly every outfit. Alongside diamond studs, pearl earrings are one of the most classic styles of earrings, and Vivienne Westwood might just have the most stunning pair I've ever seen.
The Vivienne Westwood Broken Pearl Earrings are a lovely twist between drop earrings and pearls. These earrings have an elegant look to them but can easily merge with many different styles. They are perfect for formal events in the winter, especially when trying to attain a sophisticated look with plain clothing. The best part is having the option to get these earrings in both silver or gold. If you’d like to be the embodiment of glamor this winter, these earrings are what you absolutely need.
7. The Marc Jacobs Tote Bag
Cold weather means layering clothes and wearing thick jackets. Wearing so many layers becomes a nuisance when having to carry a purse or bag around, especially a shoulder bag. Having a bag is essential to leaving the house in order to carry all of your belongings, which is why The Marc Jacobs Tote Bag is the perfect bag to have when you're out and about this winter. Not only does the bag come in different sizes, but it also has an adjustable strap that allows you to wear the bag however you desire it: satchel, tote bag, shoulder bag, you name it.
The bag comes in three different sizes (mini, medium, and large) and offers a variety of colors from neutral tones to more vibrant shades. The larger sizes are perfect for carrying winter accessories such as hats and coats and make for the perfect school bags. The small size is more convenient for going out with friends and grabbing late-night dinner; they are truly the most versatile bags to own. The choice is yours to make, but I say getting your hands on a Marc Jacobs tote bag this winter is of vital importance.
