The time is nearly upon us, ladies. Some of us can’t wait for it, and others dread it with every fiber of our beings. A famous author once wrote that winter is not a season, it’s a job – no truer word was ever spoken about the coldest months of the year.

Whichever side of the seasonal fence you’re on, winter doesn’t have to be a time of frumpy layers and itchy sweaters. Look your best by accessorizing your outfit for the chilly weather, you can be both warm and stylish – it’s a thing.
Below are five of the best accessories to add to your outfit this coming season:

1. Scarf/Shawl

A blanket scarf or shawl will be your best friend this winter. They are chic, not to mention super comfortable. Everyone wins with these accessories, they look great, and they do a fantastic job of keeping someone warm.

Blanket scarves are typically extremely oversized and square, which makes them different from the usual thin and long scarves you may be used to seeing. They are available in a wide range of designs and colors, meaning that everyone should find their perfect match in no time.

2.Hat

This coming winter, choose hats that are warm and made from protective materials such as leather or wool. Hats are about making a fashion statement, but they should also serve a purpose.

Practical options for the coldest season include things like beanies or fluffy wool hats. Not everyone looks good in a hat, but those that do tend to be able to rock any design and look like a model while doing it!

3.  Jewelry

Notably, one of the dreariest seasons - winter needs a lot of help when it comes to making people feel inspired and energetic. One of the quickest ways to put a smile on any woman’s face is with fine jewelry.

Jewelry helps transition an outfit from casual to glam with just a few tweaks. Apart from the glitz and glam, jewelry can help tie a look together and add an element of sophistication to your style.

Pair your favorite earrings with a gorgeous winter poncho, and team it with a great-fitting pair of jeans and a pair of chunky heeled boots. Divine!

4. Belt

We all know that surviving winter means thicker layers and more clothing items; there isn’t much hope in getting around that without freezing. Layers don’t have to be the enemy - if they are well-placed and thoughtfully worn, you don’t have to turn into a square-shaped mess.

Instead of wearing thicker dresses, shirts, and skirts that do nothing for your body shape, invest in a wide belt. They help trim down your waistline, and if you don’t have much of a waist, they will give you the illusion of having one – which is a pretty close second.

5.  Boots

Boots are effortlessly stylish. They look good on anyway, with just about any outfit. Long boots and jeans, leggings and boots, and even maxi skirts and boots should be popular outfit choices for you this coming season.

Although technically not an accessory, boots are a winter must-have. Every woman needs at least three pairs – knee-high, ankle, and laced.
