the capsule wardrobe: the best winter accessories for 2023

Products featured, from top left:

1: ACNE STUDIOS Canada Narrow Fringed wool scarf in Grey , £140

I have two Acne scarves, one in black and one in grey and they have lasted me so many years, they get worn on repeat every winter and they always look so chic. They are 100% worth the price when you break down the cost per wear.

2: POLO RALPH LAUREN Embroidered Logo Baseball Cap, €49

another basic I have in multiple colours, this cap gets worn al year round, but especially in winter. This tan colourway is my favourite as it’s a neutral that just goes with every outfit – but they do lots of other gorgeous colours too. I also think the price is really good for the quality and how much wear you’ll get out of it. They’re also super handy for traveling too, I always wear mine in the airport.

3: ACNE STUDIOS Fringed checked knitted scarf, £240

If you’d like to include a little bit of pattern or print into your winter wardrobe – go for a neutral one like this checked scarf from ACNE – the neutral colour means it still counts as a basic, and you can guarantee the quality will last you years.

4: H&M Wool Beret, £12

Berets are something you don’t always need to invest in – I find the classic beret hats on the highstreet to be just as good, and they have so many styles to choose from. A great way to include a dose of parisian chic into your winter look.

5: & Other Stories Faux Fur Leather Gloves, €69

A good pair of black leather gloves is another winter essential of mine. These & Other Stories Faux Fur Leather Gloves are a great option and also come in a black fur trim, but for a more affordable fix I also bought these Amazon Vegan Leather Gloves which have a Cashmere Lining and are Touchscreen friendly!

6: Hunter Wellington boots, £130

Another winter essential for me is a good pair of outdoor boots. I’ve had my trusty Hunter wellis for going on three years now and they still look and feel as good as new. They’re perfect for my daily winter walks with Remi through muddy woods and parks, and they always keep my feet super toasty.

7: ANINE BING Jeremy logo-embroidered cap, €113

Another style of cap I absolutely love are these cute Anine Bing ones, they’re next on my winter shopping list!

8: GANNI Logo Ribbed Beanie Hat, €95

The adorable GANNI beanie hats have completely taken over this season, they’re perfect for adding a little interest to an off-duty streetsyle look, plus I keep hearing how soft and cosy they are for winter walks and school runs. Definitely one to add to your shopping list.
