You don’t need a whole new winter wardrobe to make your outfits feel fresh — as tempting as that may be! Try any of these 12 winter accessories to update your look this season.
fluffy beanie
A cozy pom pom-topped beanie adds a playful element to heavy winter layers. Take it one step further like Blair of Atlantic Pacific with coordinating pom pom charms for your bag!
over-the-knee boots
Aside from being one of the season’s must-have trends, over-the-knee boots add another layer of warmth to any outfit. They’ll make even the simplest outfits look more put-together like this black sweater and skinny jeans combo on Helena of Brooklyn Blonde.
cape
Emily, blogger behind Ivory Lane, adds a checked cape to update a classic sweater. You’ll get the most wear out of winter accessories like this that mix neutral hues!
leather gloves
Save your hands from the bitter cold and add a sophisticated finish to winter outfits with a pair of leather gloves. Sazan‘s fur-trimmed pair will look cute with any winter coat!
oversized scarf
Winter accessories collections aren’t complete without at least one oversized scarf. Choose one in a bold color or with a festive print to instantly update monochrome outfits like Annabelle of VivaLuxury.
black tights
Extend the wear time of your favorite skirts and dresses with a pair of opaque black tights. It’s the perfect inexpensive way to update party outfits like this one on Jessica of Bows & Sequins!
vest
It seems everyone defaults to dark-color clothes when the weather gets cold. Use winter accessories to break up an all-black outfit like Rachel of Pink Peonies — her tailored gray vest looks pretty and professional over a black turtleneck and skinny pants.
faux fur stole
Tired of last winter’s coats and jackets? Add some flair to classic styles with a colorful faux fur stole like this striped one on The Glam Files.
classic belt
With all the layers we pile on this time of year, it makes sense to integrate some winter accessories that will define your silhouette. Try a classic belt like this one on Stephanie of SS Life + Style – just that little pop of a gold belt buckle draws attention to the waist amongst a cozy sea of black.
veiled beanie
Add some drama to your winter accessories with a pretty veil on a hat or beanie. Take your cues from Krystal of This Time Tomorrow and DIY it!
skinny scarf
While it won’t do much on the warmth front, a skinny scarf is the quickest way to add Parisian/ ’70s flair to simple outfits. Case and point: the way this skinny scarf elevates a simple blazer on Erika of Retro Flame.
maxi cardigan
We’ve been lucking out with a mild winter so far, some days only needing light layers! Try topping a mini dress or matching separates with a maxi cardigan like Christina of Oh So Glam.
