Cute Winter Accessories

Cute Winter Accessories

Striped Scarf / Caramel Pom-Pom Beanie / Ribbed Cream Scarf / Twist Headband / Ribbed Cream Cashmere Beanie / Sherpa Mittens / Merino Wool Cuffed Beanie / Plaid Scarf / Pom-Pom Fair Isle Beanie / Sherpa Twist Ear Warmer Headband / Cable-Knit Fringe Scarf / Chunky Cable-Knit Mittens / Red Plaid Scarf / Ribbed Texting Gloves / Chunky Cable-Knit Beanie / Grey Pom-Pom Beanie

Cute and warm winter accessories are a MUST for me this time of the year. It’s truly one of the things that get me through a harsh Chicago winter. And you really can never have too many in your rotation. Bundling up in the same puffer coat and snow boots can get old quickly, so accessorizing with different hats, scarfs, and mittens is an easy way to change up your winter uniform. Whether you’re more into neutrals or love a pop of color, I’ve gathered some cute winter accessories that are sure to keep you nice and toasty and hopefully bring a little joy to a super cold day.

When I first moved to Chicago, I was not nearly prepared enough for the long, intense winters that the city is known for. Over the years, I’ve accumulated a few cold-weather essentials that get the job done, from puffer jackets to mittens and everything in between. The freezing temperatures will not stop me from getting some fresh air and sunshine, whether in the form of a long morning walk with the girls or an afternoon trip to the playground. So if you also endure harsh winters where you live, I hope my holy grail winter-weather essentials can help you get through the winter and maybe even enjoy it a little too.
