If there's one thing that sets apart a really good winter outfit from the rest, it's the accessories. When you're piling on layers, anything you wear underneath tends to get lost in the mix, which means that the hats, scarves, bags, jewelry, and other accouterments you usually add on at the last minute become the crucial elements to your look.
What accessory trends are reigning supreme this cold-weather season? Below we're sharing eight key items the fashion set is loving right now that will make your outfits look chic and on-trend this winter, from luxe leather gloves to colorful socks.
