9 of the most stylish accessories to keep you warm this winter

Sometimes it takes a super chilly cold snap to spark snuggle season – and remind you how winter woollies are a wardrobe essential.

And with so many brights on our radar, not to mention the ease of a pull-on with a pop of colour for an instant style update, or a flourish of fingerless gloves to show off your nail art, it’s time to dial up your daywear of fleecy extras…

Supersized scarves

The blanket scarf is the runaway hit, which will make you look every inch a fashionista. Essentially, the bigger, the brighter, the better!

Cited by Vogue as the biggest accessory trend across the autumn/winter 2023 collections, this is not a comforter to keep under wraps – wear it long and loose, then drape it over the back of your neck when the temperature plummets.

Hero hats

Versatile and up to date, the beanie continues to build its loyal following… and prove it’s more than a one-size suits all.

Go for chenille, cashmere or merino yarn for the softest pull-on – it’s the headgear of the moment to look effortlessly cool.

Gorgeous gloves

From arm warmers to fingerless gloves, the added bonus of being finger-free is you can make a style statement out of these wristees – and get more mileage from your manicure.

After all, what’s the point of spending time in the salon only to cover up those bold shades, twinkly designs and two-tone looks with a run-of-the-mill mitten… leaving you fumbling for your phone.
