Let’s get one thing straight — we’ve all been there when the unfortunate, cold weather hits and you’re forced to head out the door wearing random cold-weather accessories that are not cute. Typically, this includes at least a (somewhat) warm jacket, your basic toque or hat, a scarf, and maybe, if it’s extra chilly out, a pair of gloves. But rather than always giving into the wraths of winter, and opting for the most basic of cold weather essentials, you can actually opt for fall must haves that are not only fashionable but also incredibly warm, so you never have feeling frigidly cold again. That’s right, we’re here to tell you that those bulky, heavy, and damn right (typically) ugly pieces can actually look, well, good and be functional. You just need to know what to stock up on first.

Not convinced? Read on to learn about the cold-weather fall must haves that are not only fashionable but, hell, they’re also insanely warm, too. 

A Bold Coat

So, the cold weather hits and you’re stuck with your go-to leather jacket. Well, put that lovely reliable number to the side and opt for something that doesn’t compromise warmth over style. We’re talking about jackets in long, bold, and statement cuts. Realistically the bolder it is, the better. We’re loving this lil’ number by River Island.

A great go-to bag

Whether you need a bag for work, the gym, or any other activity in between, you can say goodbye to lugging around a backpack that’s not only uncomfortable but not appealing to the eye. Thankfully, Hunter has released a Sherpa-style backpack that’s not only cute and convenient, but it’ll be damn cozy and warm on your back compared to other backpacks.

A Chic Beanie

While pom-pom beanies were huge in 2018, this year, designers are all about sleek and chic beanies that don’t only jeopardize on style, but also warmth. Luckily, Tilley is no stranger to this and has an impressive selection of 100% merino-made wool beanies that are not only soft and warm, but they’re also breathable and comfortable, too. 

Cozy Gloves

As we approach the end of October and the cold starts to settle in, it’s important to make sure we’re all ready for the approaching winter weather. That’s why KOMBI is a great must-have brand for warm-weather gloves. KOMBI is the all-Canadian brand whose mission is to keep winter lovers of all kinds warm from head-to-toe. Founded in Montreal, KOMBI offers warmth expertise for base layers, socks, hats, and most importantly, chic and cozy gloves. 

A teddy jacket

From celebrities to influencers, to everyone in between, the must-have teddy coat is a hot outerwear trend that you shouldn’t overlook. Style a teddy jacket over your go-to basics and drape it over your shoulders to create an ‘it’ girl look. It’s a simple styling hack that all the fashion bloggers use that truly makes a difference.

A Statement scarf

Not a fan of the puffer coat? No problem. New York-based brand Think RoyIn is home to a slew of puffer-style items, including chic scarfs, so you can still embrace the A-list trend without having to opt for a puffer coat. For all our trendsetting friends, the brand has an impressive selection of puffy, colourful, and warm scarves that are not just statement pieces all on their own, these scarves are exactly what your closet is missing during the cold months as they’re both warm and cool at the same time.

The simplicity and convenience of online shopping is impossible to ignore. How great is shopping without leaving the comfort of your own home and getting it delivered right to your door?!

Just in time for rainy, gloomy season, Hunter brings bright colors to Toronto, as the iconic rubber boots company opens its first North American store at Yorkdale shopping centre.

The UK-based fashion brand has already opened two stores worldwide – in London and Tokyo. When it came to North America, the company had no doubts that the next location should be in Toronto, crowned one of the fastest-growing and multicultural cities in the world.

According to Vincent Wauters, Hunter’s CEO, the “pioneering spirit” of the Torontonians resonates the most with the brand. Toronto’s unique, young, vibrant and diverse population reflects the core brand’s values making the city the perfect location to introduce Hunter’s colorful aesthetic and clean practical design that never goes out of style.

The first Hunter store in Northern America looks very different from the other high-end fashion outlets at Yorkdale and deserves special attention. Hunter’s in-house interior design team did a good job designing the 2,800 square feet space that imitates the real sky, contemporary barn architecture and the Scottish landscape, the elements of the Hunter’s world. According to the brand, the interior elements will be changed seasonally.

At the opening first visitors were trying on Hunter’s versatile down jackets, raincoats, winter parkas, iconic rubber and snow boots and backpacks in different colors, including a special version of the rubberized leather backpack in Canadian colours. The limited edition backpack (there are just 20 available!) was designed specifically to celebrate Canada 150 anniversary. (See the photo below.)

A special wall was dedicated to the all-time favorite bestseller of the brand – original rubber boots. First designed in 1956, the iconic boots would seem to be settled in every wardrobe and even presented as a piece of art in NY Museum of Art and Design.

Not a lot of people know that Hunter boots have been assembled manually since 1856.

Vincent Wauters explained in an interview with StyleDemocracy that every boot is carefully handmade with special attention to details and quality and that makes these shoes so durable and the design so lasting.  

“People don’t realize the level of craftsmanship that goes into assembling a pair of Hunter boots,” says Wauters. “It takes 10 hours to make one pair.”
