As someone who lives and breathes fashion, it’s always tempting to invest in the season’s latest It jacket or sweater trend. But here’s a little secret I’ve learned over the years: There’s a far more affordable way to refresh your wardrobe. Enter accessories. Winter, in particular, offers the best lineup—think furry hats, leather gloves, and so on. Best of all, many of the season’s buzziest accessory trends ring in under $100.
The beauty of a good accessory is that it can put your outfit in a league of its own. An aforementioned faux fur hat, for instance, will set your outfit apart from the rest, as will, say, an of-the-moment triangle scarf (just ask Kendall Jenner, who can’t stop wearing the piece). These small details make a world of difference in your look. On that note, I compiled five winter accessories trends that won’t cost you over $100—so go ahead, add a few to your virtual shopping cart.
Triangle Scarves
Tying a triangle scarf around your head is a cool girl-approved hack to test out this winter. And when your ears don’t need the extra coverage, knot it around your neck instead. So chic.
