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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you’re in search of quality, chic, and on trend designer items but aren’t so into paying those high designer prices, then you’ve come to the right place. Right now, there are loads of amazing deals to take advantage of at Shopbop because the retailer is having a major sale with thousands of items on offer. Being that it’s the weekend, we wouldn’t blame you if you spent a good chunk of time doing nothing but shopping. The retailer is known for offering fabulous luxury styles and pieces and you might be surprised to find items retailing for under $100, but believe it or not, the site is filled with fab finds.
Let’s be honest — there’s nothing cuter than a polka dot dress. Snatch up this flowy frock just in time for the last month of summer for just a fraction of its original price. We love that this dress can be styled in so many ways: with heels, sneakers, a leather jacket or even a bomber jacket for chilly nights.
Looking comfortable doesn’t have to translate to disheveled, so stay chic yet cozy in these James Perse sweatpants. The brand is known for its updated twists on closet staples from t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweats, and even relaxed dresses.
If your outfits need a boost but you’re not sure what to do, try spicing things up with a fierce accessory. Earrings are the perfect way to add oomph to any look, and these bright red earrings will definitely do just the trick!
If exciting sunnies are your vibe, you will definitely want to add these Chimi x Sundae School sunglasses to your cart ASAP. While classic black shades are available (for more $$), we think that the tiger striped pair are the way to go.
Even though we’re in the middle of summer, it’s important to remember that winter is, well, coming. If you’re needing a new pair of boots to get you through the chillier temps, then these Jeffrey Campbell boots are just the ticket. The khaki colour is so chic and is perfect for the ongoing military-style trend — plus, we all need a break from all black everything.
If you’re bored of all your basic handbags, try out Parisa Wong’s Bracelet Bag that, yes for those in the back, you wear like a bracelet. The bag is also available in a fun lime green colour but we are more into the hot pink for summer.
Probably one of the biggest trends of the year has been striped sweaters with a thick colour block. This sweater by J.O.A is a great dupe and it’s even more affordable because it’s on for a fraction of its original price.
