5 Affordable Accessory Trends For Cold Weather

As someone who lives and breathes fashion, I’m always tempted to invest in the season’s latest It jacket or sweater trend. But here’s a little secret I’ve learned over the years: There’s a far more affordable way to refresh your wardrobe. Enter accessories. Winter, in particular, offers the best lineup—think furry hats, leather gloves, and so on. Best of all, many of the season’s buzziest accessory trends ring in under $100.

The beauty of a good accessory is that it can put your outfit in a league of its own. An aforementioned faux-fur hat, for instance, will set your outfit apart from the rest, as will, say, an of-the-moment triangle scarf. (Just ask Kendall Jenner, who can’t stop wearing the piece.) These small details make a world of difference in your look. On that note, I compiled five winter accessories trends that won’t cost you over $100—so go ahead, and add a few to your virtual shopping cart.

Triangle Scarves

Tying a triangle scarf around your head is a cool girl–approved hack to test out this winter. And when your ears don’t need the extra coverage, knot it around your neck instead. So chic.

Fuzzy Hats

Toss your beanie aside this winter in favor of a faux-fur hat. When it comes to the trend, vintage-inspired silhouettes—namely, pillbox and cloche hats—are leading the charge. Extra credit if you style the accent with a faux-fur jacket.

Leather Gloves

No one wants dry, cracked hands in the winter. A stylish solution? Slipping into a pair of leather gloves. Whether you opt for chocolate brown or black, the accessory gives every ensemble a luxe feel.

Sheer Tights

Sheer tights might not be as practical as ribbed or opaque pantyhose, but there’s no denying how chic they are. For an easy winter outfit formula, layer a statement coat over your see-through hosiery and finish with a kitten heel.

Faux-Fur Scarves

Faux-fur scarves have been flooding my Instagram feed these past few months, and I’m not mad about it. What’s not to love about an accessory that’s both practical and polished?
