Winter weather makes getting dressed hard. It becomes a mind game in balancing practicality with style, and at least for me, the former tends to win. But the easy loophole for looking on-trend and staying warm is updating your accessories. They instantly add to your look without sacrificing warmth or comfort, with the added bonus of being experimental. (During no other season is outrageous as acceptable as winter). So if you’re ready to step beyond the comfort zone of gray scarves and black beanies, we found the biggest accessory trends of the season to try.
With brands from Target to Prada to fit every budget, shop our edit ahead.

Crochet wool helmet with face mask
Now that we’re used to face masks, it’s time for balaclavas to become a wintry mainstay. The added warmth is always welcome, and they’re made even cooler thanks to designers like Miu Miu, who debuted this detachable style during its fall-winter 2021 collection.

Tiny sunglasses? We don’t know her. Come winter, we’re only wearing flattering, anti-trendy sunglasses. You’ll own these for life, so that gives you an excuse to splurge on a style you really love.
