Everything You Need To Survive This Winter (SSENSE)

There’s no suppressing the unsettling feeling that stirs in your chest when you realize it’s dark out and yet it’s only 5 PM. In many cases, the conditions have turned less than ideal for pulling off your more creative styling ideas. However, leaning into the season with the best designer accessories to keep you warm while maintaining your vibe is the key to the colder months—that and vitamin D supplements.

HATS AND HEADWEAR

Make no mistake, while coquette may have left your weekly internet slang vocabulary, part of surviving the unrelenting winter is about being cute. The bonnet is back and better than ever with the AMOMENTO Off-White Crochet Knit Bonnet. New York designer Colleen Allen doubles up the classic fleece beanie with a delicate underlay of cotton ribbed jersey beneath. The Tao Comme Des Garçons Off-White Wool Mix Crochet Motif Ear Warmers capture the blossoming effect of an unfurling new bloom brought together by an adorable bow.

From statement to subtle, a great piece of headwear could be your new winter signature. The Yellow Efna Shearling Pilot Hat from Moose Knuckles takes the cool attitude of aviator style with a bold full-shearling construction. Cashmere accessories are a must-have for the winter, as the fibers naturally regulate body temperature with an irresistibly soft, fine texture. The AURALEE Black Baby Cashmere Knit Beanie sports a cute, cropped look with a luxurious and comforting feel.

GLOVES

Avoid the hassle and unsightly scene of chapped knuckles with gloves that you won’t want to remove to use your phone. A polished leather glove paired with a tailored wool coat and top-handle leather bag is the perfect, refined finish for a sophisticated office look. Up the ante with a short, cropped glove that adds a sense of sensuality and danger, like the cropped YOHJI YAMAMOTO Short Black Gloves, which come in a luscious grained calfskin. On the cozy end of the spectrum, rib-knit gloves from Loulou Studio add a playful pop of color in pomegranate red.

Your winter arc needs a style rebrand—and FW24’s gloves have you covered, from sporty and sophisticated to classic workwear essentials. Get your paws on the OUR LEGACY Brown Shearling Mittens, in an indulgent chocolate-brown lambskin. Bottega Veneta’s elegant Intrecciato-weave pattern adds a touch of texture and dimension to classic black leather gloves in a buttery, supple nappa leather. If you’re looking for more rustic roughness, the visvim brown suede lambskin gloves are the perfect complement to heavy, workwear winter coats and bombers. The Maison Margiela Gray Shetland Wool Mittens are knit with 100% wool and fleece lining, conveniently connected together so you don’t accidentally lose one in a snowball fight.

With harsh conditions just around the corner, creating a survival kit of hydrating and soothing essentials will pamper your skin and offer some well-deserved rehabilitation. Swap drying, foaming face washes with gentler formulas, like the soothing Cleansing Milk by Susanne Kaufmann. A top-line lip product is essential and a requirement for each purse and coat pocket, like the restorative The Lip Balm from La Mer, which uses the brand’s famous Miracle Broth™ to nourish dry lips. Brace yourself for the conditions with an extra layer of a hyaluronic acid–packed serum, like the ultra-moisturizing Renewal Hydrogel Targeted 4D Hydration Serum from RéVive. Complete your routine with a cream that protects sensitive winter skin from the elements, like the Herbar The Barrier Cream, formulated with five ceramides to brighten your complexion while reducing signs of aging.
