5 must-have accessories this winter

 

Welcome back to the Velvet Runway and this Style feature about 5 must-have accessories this winter.

The leaves are turning orange, the air is getting chilly and the days are turning darker, which can only mean one thing: autumn is officially here. And what better way to welcome snuggly season than with a winter wardrobe refresh?

If you’re keen to set yourself up with cosy winter apparel that’s practical and stylish, you’re in the right place. Here are five must-have accessories for autumn/winter 2023.

5 must-have accessories this winter

1: A blanket scarf

You don’t have to compromise on style to feel warm and cosy this winter. On cold, crisp days, wrap up warm with an on-trend blanket scarf. According to Vogue, “the blanket scarf that reigned circa 2010 is back – arguably the most significant accessory trend across the autumn/winter 2023 collections”.

They say the key to making this look stylish rather than sloppy is to drape yours intentionally and opt for a “tonal colour palette”. Think autumnal shades of camel, mustard, emerald green, burnt orange or greige.

2: A timeless watch

A quick and easy way to elevate your winter looks is to wear a luxury watch. They are a great investment piece thanks to their versatility – wear yours with a knit jumper and jeans to head out with friends, or a smart blazer for a winter work event.

Tissot watches are a great option as they are world-renowned for their quality umaterials and reliable builds. They come in a wide range of styles, from elegant rose gold to chunky stainless-steel pieces – so you’re sure to find the perfect timepiece for you!

3: Winter boots

A pair of premium winter boots is an absolute must during the chilly season. It’s worth investing in a quality pair that can withstand the wet winter weather and keep your feet nice and warm on frosty days!

Lace-up boots are on-trend for 2023, as well as thigh-high, Chelsea and cowboy styles. If you want something extra snuggly, opt for UGG’s ultra mini sheepskin boots that are designed to keep your feet warm while being water-repellent. It’s a win-win!

4: A backpack bag

If you’re fed up with feeling lopsided from carrying a heavy shoulder bag, then why not opt for a backpack bag instead? Practical and stylish, they can be worn when running errands, heading to the office or to the park with little ones.

They are perfect for the winter months as they allow you to be hands-free, so you can scrape ice off the car or carry Christmas shopping without battling your handbag! Choose a Kånken to be comfortable and practical, or a leather style from brands like Kate Spade, Sarah Haran or Osprey London for a chic and sophisticated look.

5: Neutral gloves

Another essential item for your winter wardrobe is a pair of warm gloves. With so many pairs on the market, it can feel daunting knowing which to invest your hard-earned cash in – but we’re here to help!

The key here is to choose a pair in a neutral shade that can be worn with a wide range of outfits. This could be black, grey, camel or navy, for example. The material is also important for durability – we recommend cashmere, wool or leather for optimal performance.
