THE JOURNAL
It’s never too soon to get ahead and start prepping your wardrobe for the new season. And especially if the season you’re preparing for requires a bit more thought in terms of layering and selecting the perfect finishing touches. So, come winter, work smarter, not harder. From sunglasses and sturdy shoes to your choice of bag and winter warmers, accessories have the power to make or break an outfit. You’ll want something that’s practical, perhaps quite neutral, and easy to style with a variety of layers. Stuck for ideas? Look no further – our seven-point edit below will take your cold-weather outfits to the next level.

The Loro Piana cashmere beanie
Nobody does cashmere quite like Loro Piana, so if you’re looking for something to keep you toasty during the cold season, this beanie won’t disappoint. The brown, white and grey mélange shade works well with most colours, which makes it a great gifting option.

The ZEGNA x The Elder Statesman cashmere scarf
The collaboration between ZEGNA and king of cashmere The Elder Statesman was one of this year’s most anticipated pairings, so we’ll use any excuse to get our hands on an item from the capsule collection. We’ve styled it with the matching shirt and trousers, but wear yours with jeans if you don’t wish to double down on checks.

The Brunello Cucinelli fleece-lined leather gloves
Brunello Cucinelli doesn’t leave anything to chance – and these leather gloves are a case in point. Wear them for countryside walks or nights on the town. The soft fleece lining and cinched cuffs are sure to block out the cold.

The Johnstons of Elgin cashmere-blend socks
These socks are great for winter, but they’ll work double-time in your wardrobe long after winter comes to an end. They’re cable-knitted from a speckled cashmere blend that you won’t mind seeing peek out from shorter cuffs.
06.
The Bottega Veneta wallet
Aside from having become one of Bottega Veneta’s brand signatures, the house’s intrecciato leather technique is a clever way of strengthening the leather strips that are used to craft its coveted accessories, ensuring they last a lifetime. This wallet comes in a versatile matte black shade and is reinforced along the edges, too, so it will quickly become your wardrobe’s bread and butter.

The Dior Eyewear aviator sunglasses
However pale the winter sun may be, it’s lower in the sky, meaning a good pair of sunglasses is essential. Especially if they’re as practical as Dior Eyewear’s. They’re designed to be foldable, so they’ll easily slip into your chest pocket.
