As fashionistas prepare for the season of snowbanks and icy sidewalks, it’s easy to forget the importance of accessorizing in style. With the frigid temperatures encouraging us to bundle up in thick layers, finishing touches such as the perfect handbag can often be forgotten. Luckily, we’ve compiled five fashion-forward yet practical accessories to help you usher in 2016 in true fashionista form.

1) Aqua Embellished Beanie with Pom-Pom, $47: For trendsetters who want to guard their long locks from the ice, sleet and snow, a trendy beanie can wrap up your winter style. We are liking the gleaming embellished detail and the playful pom-pom on this cool black knit cap.

2) Parkhurst Faux Fur Trim Gloves, $49: Try shielding your fingers from the dropping temperatures in style with a pair of stylish faux fur-trimmed gloves. These classic black knit gloves by Parkhurst are instantly updated with fluffy cheetah print trim for a flawless touch.

3) Nordstrom Wool & Cashmere Wrap in Red Sage, $142: If you’re looking to bring the glamour factor to a simple silk blouse or knit sweater, a flowing wrap in a bright wintertime hue just may be your sartorial solution. We are loving this chic cashmere and wool wrap, which makes a statement with its brilliant red shade and soft fringed edges.

4) Rebecca Minkoff Tote in Port, $241: Whether you’re heading to the office or meeting friends for drinks, an essential tote bag will help you tote your must-haves on your winter commute. This Rebecca Minkoff unlined leather tote is a striking sight with its rich wine red hue and edgy metallic studs.

5) Moon Boot Monaco Faux Fur-Trimmed Moon Boots, $263: With a practical pair of winter boots, there won’t be any January snow drifts which your feet can’t conquer. Although those pretty suede boots may be tempting, try saving your toes from a frosty fate and stepping out in comfort instead! These funky white moon boots pay tribute to the season’s footwear trends, with their faux fur trim and lace-up detail.
