Woolen knit hats are very stylish, especially designs sporting a pom pom – there are even some designs with two pom poms. However, hats with double pom poms tend to be better suited to children, rather than adults. Don’t suit woolen hats? How about a fedora-style hat then? These look incredibly smart and elegant and are ideal for teaming with any outfit.
This season, scarves are big business, especially if they come in an eye-catching printed design or pretty pastel hue. Once again, pastel pink is on-trend, and so you are sure to find plenty of accessories in this pretty shade. As well as traditional scarves, over-the-head snoods are also very in this season and come in various styles and prints.
This winter, satchel-style shoulder bags are the in-thing, and come in all sorts of styles and colors. From musty pink to dark burgundy, there’s a color and style that’s perfect for everyone. It’s just a case of picking out a bag style that works for you.
