The recent spell of freezing cold weather has got us bundled up, fighting to stay warm and cosy, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing style.
From luxurious, chunky scarves to fashionable gloves and statement hats, accessories are a great way to update your outfit without forking out for an expensive new winter coat.
One item we’re eyeing up is this Faux Fur Headband from John Lewis. Costing £19, it’s fluffy, chic and super on-trend.
It’s great quality too with one reviewer saying: ‘A very luxurious, rich looking headband which is made with faux fur. It is warm and keeps my hair under control in wintry blustery weather.’
Another item we’re loving is Jigsaw’s Wool Cashmere Roll Neck Bib. Popped over dresses or shirts and worn under your coat, it gives an extra layer of warmth where you need it.
The natural fibres and roll neck style ensure great insulation but it’s easy to remove once you’re in the warmth.
With the temperatures staying low for the foreseeable, staying warm in winter is all about layering effectively and choosing the right materials.
Accessories in natural fabrics like cashmere, wool and angora tend to be a lot warmer than synthetics like polyester or acrylic so, opt for these.
Need some inspo? Whether you’re braving the morning frost for a coffee or just trying to make it home after work with all your fingers, we’ve curated a list of some of the season’s must-have accessories to keep you toasty from head to toe.
Made from pure, high-quality cashmere, this beanie offers an ultra-soft feel that gives much needed insulation against the cold. It’s available in a range of colours including turquoise and grey but, our favourite is this chocolate brown shade.
Autumn/Winter 2024 saw the resurgence of Ugg’s Classic Ultra Mini Boots and the trend is still going strong now. Their soft sheepskin lining and suede outer keeps feet warm and cosy and they look great styled with a pair of wide trousers.
Crafted from a luxurious mohair and wool blend, this scarf’s soft, fluffy texture feels incredibly gentle against the skin and keeps the chill out, making it a must-have for those needing an extra level of comfort during the cold winter months.
The Nordvek Sheepskin Mittens from Amazon are the perfect accessory for cold weather. Made from 100% sheepskin, they’re durable and made to last, naturally hypoallergenic and give hands proper insulation against cold, wintry conditions.
Add a pop of colour to your winter wardrobe with the stylish Ganni Wool Rib Knit Beanie. The stretchy knit ensures a snug and comfortable fit to keep your head and ears warm and toasty and it’s shoppable in a range of colours to suit your style.
The M&S Leather Gloves are a sophisticated and practical winter essential that combine luxury with functionality. Crafted from high-quality leather, these gloves offer a refined, timeless design that’s perfect for both casual and formal occasions. Style with a classic black tailored coat.
Made from 100% premium wool, the Light Wool Scarf from Arket is the perfect balance of softness and insulation, offering warmth without feeling heavy or bulky. The lightweight wool makes it ideal for layering, adding just the right amount of cosiness for cooler days while remaining breathable enough for milder winter temperatures.
The & Other Stories Soft Wool Socks don’t just keep your toes warm, they add a subtle pop of colour to your outfit. The soft wool blend fabric traps heat while wicking moisture away, keeping your feet comfortable even on the chilliest of days. We love this trending burgundy colour.
There’s no need to be cold this winter with this list and all pieces are ready to shop now.
