These cute winter fashion accessories are cheaper than they look
Winter has sent much of the country scrambling to find fashionable accessories to stay warm. However, some parts of the country don’t experience cold for long. In these cases, you may want to save money by buying something cheap. However, there’s nothing that says cheap winter accessories can’t look as good as expensive ones.
Common winter accessories
Four of the most common winter accessories are:
- Beanies: The head is one of the major locations where heat escapes the body (with the others being the feet and ankles). Beanies are a wise purchase, and they can cover the crown of your head and protect your ears. Some even have Bluetooth connectivity so you can listen to music comfortably, and many of these don’t cost much more than a standard beanie.
- Earmuffs: If you find beanies scratchy or otherwise uncomfortable, you can keep your ears warm by using earmuffs instead. Earmuffs come in three major types: Over-the-head and behind-the-head styles use bands to connect the ear cups that stretch across the locations in the name, while bandless earmuffs attach directly to your ears. Like beanies, some earmuffs are Bluetooth-capable for a small bump in cost.
- Scarves: Scarves have long been a popular accessory. They can elevate practically any outfit while keeping your neck warm. There are also “infinity scarves” that are just big loops you can easily put on and take off if you don’t want to have to wrap and unwrap throughout the day.
- Gloves: Gloves are a sometimes overlooked accessory. Often, they need to be taken off to interact with a touchscreen. However, many gloves today use special materials in one or two fingers that can interact with them. This feature is widespread enough that you don’t even need to pay extra for it.
