Best cold-weather accessories: 1-5
Ah, Canadian winters. How can something so beautiful be so harsh at the same time? While some can appreciate the tranquil beauty of a crisp, clear winter day, sub-zero temperatures can make you contemplate a permanent move down south.
Enjoying this chilly time of year simply depends on being adequately prepared. And bundling up doesn't have to mean looking like a fuddy-duddy. Here are some of the most stylish and budget-friendly winter accessories that'll have you eager to get dressed and head outdoors to brave the elements.
1. Leather gloves
These soft, supple leather gloves are superstylish and serviceable, too! Featuring a brushed polyester lining and elasticized wrists (to keep that bitter wind out), these gloves will feel as good as they look on cold days. An oversize buckle at the wrist is a thoughtful detail that gives these gloves a little something special. Available in black, gold, red, stone and teal (pictured).

 | 2. Cable-knit scarf This must-have accessory is essential for surviving winter in the Great White North. Made from 100 per cent acrylic, this big, bulky scarf is simply perfect for those bitterly cold days. The cable-knit pattern will make you feel like you're enveloped in your favourite (and oh-so-warm) old sweater. Available in olive (pictured). Available at: www.urbanoutfitters.com (ships to Canada) Price: US$20 |
 | 3. Knit headbands Don't knock it till you try it. These furry headbands may have you shaking your head and saying, "no way, no how!" but until you've experienced their wonderful warmth, you just can't judge them by their appearance. Made from a polyester yarn blend, these half-hats will keep your ears toasty warm on the coldest days. Plus, headbands help you to avoid that nasty hat-head other winter hats leave behind during the winter months. Available at: www.sears.ca or at Sears locations across Canada (selection may vary by store) Price: $9.99 |
 | 4. Striped wrap Perfectly oversize, this wrap is also multifunctional. Wear it as a big scarf on blustery days or use it as an indoor wrap to fight a nagging chill. Made from a blend of silk, wool and cashmere, this wrap is luxurious to the touch, but the crinkled boho-chic look is simple and casual. Available at: Banana Republic stores across Canada (selection may vary by store) Price: $58 |
 | 5. Bouclé scarf, hat and gloves set Add a bold and brilliant splash of colour to long, cold, dreary and dark winter days. This bouclé set (including scarf, hat and gloves) is fabulously priced and wonderfully vibrant for those days when you need a pick-me-up. This set is available in a variety of bold colours, including red (pictured), hot pink, violet and hunter green, and it's made from a blend of acrylic, nylon, wool and spandex.
