As we welcome the frosty days of winter, we transition to heavier knits, chunkier boots and layers galore. By December, our wardrobes are in full winter mode, during which point there comes a time when you’re heading out for a quick coffee or your daily commute when you realise that your wool coat alone is simply not going to cut it anymore. That’s when it’s time to bring out the big guns — I’m talking scarves, hats, wraps, gloves and even knitted hoods. There’s no need to fear the dreaded cold as these winter warmers can be just as practical as they are chic. We’ve rounded up the top five accessories you need to get through this winter in style. Make sure you’ve got all the essentials you need with our checklist below:
Leather Gloves
Leather gloves are a great way to add texture and dimension to any outfit, especially all-black ensembles. Not only do they offer sleek sophistication, but they’re also practical — cashmere-lined gloves offer warmth on the inside while the leather exterior offers durability.
