An easy and cost-efficient way to refresh seasonal wardrobes is to pair tried-and-true staples with new, on-trend accessories – and winter is the perfect season to layer different elements in with traditional cold-weather basics. Learn how to upgrade boots, sweaters, and outerwear by becoming familiar with our favorite contemporary picks:
There are several terms for this winter accessory – buff, gaiter, neckwarmer – but we prefer snood. We’re talking about those thick, oversized, cylindrical scarf-replacements that sit around a wearer’s neck. They’re as versatile as they are warm: some are big enough to pull over the wearer’s head or above the nose, mimicking hoodies and masks. It's an ideal piece to cocoon into in when sub-zero temps trigger hibernating instincts.
The days of removing gloves to answer smartphones are solidly behind us; no longer do protected hands need to be sacrificed to answer a call or respond to a text! Tech gloves are here to provide a solution to this intolerable winter woe by embedding conductive fibers in the finger tips, allowing users to manage touchscreen devices during wear.
A stylish way to add cohesion to any cold-weather outfit, boot cuffs are the modern response to legwarmers. Boot cuffs create the cozy look of a tall, knit sock without adding a bulky layer to stuff into your shoes. As a bonus, it prevents any uncomfortable chafing between boots and legs or ankles! Originally catering to a feminine style, this fun winter accessory is now available in masculine and unisex styles as well.
The concept of scarves is nothing new, but ways to wear them are perpetually evolving. Bring last year's oversized scarf up-to-date by hanging it over one shoulder, then tying the ends together to rest on the opposite shoulder. This simple, draped style reads as chic and comfy – an ideal blend for the upcoming change in seasons.
