Survive cold weather with these trendy winter accessories

New York right now feels like Fairbanks, Alaska, only without the Northern Lights and picturesque scenery. The only fun I have while making my way to the local bodega for oat milk is buying accessories for the weather: picking out different scarves, gloves and hats to protect my skin.

After all, in the trendy city of New York, dressing stylishly and documenting the latest trends is not only a choice I enjoy, but a literal part of my job. Below I'm sharing my favorite oversized scarves that double as office chair blankets, as well as winter hats and warm gloves that have become my new favorite accessories.

If the idea of ​​wearing a unique hat seems daring (and I assure you, it doesn't), let me tell a personal story. I hesitated to embrace hats for a long time until I witnessed one Jeff Goldblum confidently wearing a charming blue fedora on stage at the Paris Theater in New York. His simple desire to wear it made me question my own talents – and wasn't that reason enough to make a change?

While I may not possess the same charm as Goldblum, I have decided to wear his confidence in the form of a hat on my own head, and it is a decision I do not regret. Hats also protect you from the rain and cover the messiest hairstyles. So let's take a look at the accessories I chose for warmth, confidence and style, shall we?
