Already feeling the winter breeze sweeping in? Winter’s just right around the corner and for the true fashionistas, this is the perfect time to experiment with your winter accessories and layers while keeping yourself warm and cozy. But then, cozying yourself up against the harsh cold winter can be quite challenging at times as we tend to translate “warm clothing” to “more and more layers”. Layering without being strategic and mindful of proper proportions can overwhelm your natural figure, hence looking straight up unflattering — nobody wants to be a huge walking puffball this winter season!
This is where winter accessories become crucial fashion choices as they can truly level up your winter outfit in ways that can totally change your style game. The season to channel your high-fashion wardrobe is here and I have to say that makes a perfect excuse to shop for designer winter accessories.
Quit resorting to layering one thing after the other just to keep yourself cozy, here are some Vogue-worthy fashion inspirations featuring the best pieces donned on the runways of New York, Paris, London, and Milan by the biggest fashion houses around the world.
Fendi F/W 2024 Collection
Lavish and Fuzzy Layers
When we think of a winter wardrobe constant, cozy scarves easily come to mind. It’s true that nothing really compares to the warmth and elegance of luxurious scarves, especially if they’re made from top-notch fabric materials! For this upcoming winter season, scarves are more than just a winter accessory to keep you warm but also a defining layer that can give your winter ensemble a high-fashion take.
Cashmere and wool are definitely two of the most lavish and cozy fabrics out there that make a great scarf. If you’re up for something that immediately portrays class and style, then you can never go wrong with a Burberry cashmere scarf. With its iconic check pattern gracing the scarf wrapped around your neck, you can easily give that effortlessly elegant vibe! Speaking of its iconic check pattern, a Burberry cashmere scarf is a winter accessory that can last you a lifetime! Now if you’re in search of something more muted and plain, you’ll love the alpaca wool scarf from Marni. Alpaca wool can offer you that irresistibly cozy and fuzzy feel that can level up your outfit without compromising comfort. Something as plain as the Marni scarf allows you a more seamless layering experience for it eliminates the guesswork of mix and matching plains and prints.

Cozy Hand Warmers
If you have been glued to your social media feeds for a while, then you may have probably noticed the recurring fashion trend among celebrities attending their annual galas. The spotlight is on hand warmers, most particularly opera gloves. They are a perfect blend of luxury and functionality, which makes them this season’s chicest winter piece.
Opera gloves go up to the elbows and are often made from luxuriously smooth fabrics like velvet or edgy fabrics like leather, making them a perfect winter accessory piece to keep yourself warm and stylish. A-Listers and fashion mavens are reviving old Hollywood glamour with these sophisticated opera gloves à la Audrey Hepburn. Among the top picks from the biggest designer houses is the black cashmere glove pair from Dolce & Gabbana. Whether you choose to wear it with your formal dress or go street style with them, I swear you’ll find it a breeze to wear with your other favorite winter pieces.

There’s no need to wait for a time or season to go bold with your fashion choices. So for this winter season, it’s time to inject a playful punch to your cold-weather outfits by going for attention-grabbing winter accessories! In a world where everyone plays safe by keeping their wardrobe in a neutral palette, you can choose to stand out in the crowd this winter by giving colorful statement pieces a try. I am personally in awe of this multicolored faux fur hat I spotted from Rihanna for her Rimowa campaign. A faux fur hat that can bring a burst of color to your outfit is inarguably a foolproof choice if you’d like to don anything attention-grabbing.
Oversized winter pieces can also give a memorable impact to your winter outfits. The wide-brim hat from Chanel’s F/W 2024-2025 collection is another sophisticated example of a statement piece that can easily become an eye candy. A similar oversized accessory is something that will instantly create a statement by creating an exaggerated silhouette that adds visual interest to your plain looks.
