Winter accessories can be easily overlooked in your wardrobe rotation, but the right ones can add a little dazzle as well as functionality to your winter wardrobe.

To help you get ready for the colder weather in style (and prepare for the festive season, of course), we have scoured the internet for the best winter accessories.

If you're looking for a lifelong purchase, then invest in some teddy gloves or a cashmere poncho for ultimate cosiness. If you are more of a traditional minimalist, you can't go wrong with warming black hat to take on brisk strolls. Perhaps you believe in 'the more the merrier' when it comes to colour? In which case opt for a pattered hat or scarf from Boden, this season to stand out from the crowd. The brand's contrasting striped scarf is sure to boost your mood on the morning commute.

Or, try pairing Hobbs' crystal earrings with a cable knit jumper or coat for another pop of sparkle and texture. If chosen correctly, a small but mighty winter accessory can add depth and pizazz to your winter layering, as well as putting a smile on your face for the colder and wetter days ahead.

To fully kit out your new season wardrobe, take a look at our pick of the best autumn boots and cashmere jumpers. But for now, we've included a selection of fabulous winter accessory options from a whole range of retailers to suit various budgets in our edit here.
