We’re well into November now, and there’s no putting it off
any longer: it’s time to start investing in cosy accessories. Think of them as
an easy way to refresh that winter coat that you’re already bored of – mixing and
matching hats and scarves can breathe fresh life into the outerwear that you
have to pull on every day, and add a punch of colour if you opted for a coat in
classic black, navy or grey. I’ve chosen my twelve favourite pieces, for a
stylish collision of fashion and warmth!
1 & 2. If you didn’t commit to a Brian Lichtenberg t-shirt,
then his beanies are an alternative way to tap into his tongue-in-cheek humour.
His riffs on Celine, Hermés and Saint Laurent look just as good across your
forehead as they ever did on tees and sweatshirts.
3. This pork pie hat from Topshop is as cute as a button,
and it comes in a ton of different colours. Use it to add a jaunty twist to
androgynous overcoats, and protect your hair on windier days.
4. There are hundreds of cute bobble hats out there, but
this sunshine-yellow version from White Stuff is my favourite. If it’s bright
colour doesn’t inspire a few smiles, then maybe the crocheted pattern will – even
on a bleak January morning it’s a happy reminder of summer. The furry bobble is
very nice, too.
5. This is the perfect scarf to layer with an old school
biker jacket, from Mint Velvet. The waterfall shape comes in a supersoft, lightweight wool, while
the faux fur trim is incredibly fluffy.
6. Master irreverent winter dressing with this brick print
scarf from Marc by Marc Jacobs, available at Selfridges now. The closer you
look, the more you notice the hidden bunnies and iconic logo - and because it’s
monochrome, it’ll work with coats in any colour.
7. Plaid is back in a big way right now, and Topshop’s checked
scarf is one of the best ways to channel it. The combination of lilac and blue,
shot through with a skinny stripe of orange, is a more interesting alternative
to the classic tartans – there’s something very nineties about it, without
going too grungy.
8. Thanks entirely to Burberry, heart prints are in vogue
right now. Follow Victoria Beckham’s lead with this scarf from Oasis, which
will look great tucked into a trench coat.
9. Madeleine Thompson’s neon pink beanie is cut from
sumptuous cashmere, and available exclusively from Net-a-Porter. It’ll brighten
up everything from leather jackets to grey cocoon coats.
10. The fedora hat is the accessory of the season – just ask
Alexa Chung and black is the obvious choice as it will go with
everything. But this pale green one from Marie Mercié makes much more of a
statement. With a wide grosgrain ribbon, it’s a slightly more feminine take on
the trend. And will really compliment a fluffy grey coat.
11. Markus Lupfer’s known for his knitwear, especially his
oversized sweaters emblazoned with sequinned lips. But this year he’s
introduced this tiara hat, available in black, red, purple and white, for a
quirky dose of his signature style.
