So long, Hot Girl Summer. Warm Girl Winter is here!
When you’re trying to stay warm during the wintertime, it can be difficult to maintain your sense of style — the most important thing is figuring out how to *not* freeze!
That’s where winter accessories come in. Not only are they a great way to add personality and trend appeal to your outfits, but they also can keep you that much warmer. I’ve scoured the web to find the 18 best winter accessories under $75, along with the 10 best winter boots under $200, so that you can take on the cold weather with both style and ease — but without breaking the bank!
Read on for your ultimate guide to winter shoes and accessories for 2025.
Winter Accessories Under $75
These cold-weather accessories under $75 are going to help you stay warm while looking stylish during the wintertime. Accessorize your cold weather looks with fashion-forward hats, scarves, gloves, and other items that are as cute as they are functional.
Faux Fur Bucket Hat
One of the hottest accessories for winter is faux fur bucket-style hats — they are so fluffy, trendy, and warm! This affordable option comes in four different neutral hues, all of which are perfect for accessorizing your winter outfits.
Be prepared to be the center of attention in this fluffy hat, which, BTW, is going to take your #ootd pics and videos to the next level, especially when paired with some cool sunglasses.
Lululemon Warm Revelation Gloves
Not only are these gloves burgundy, the trendiest color of the season, but they are ultra-practical thanks to their naturally thermoregulating merino wool fabric and tech-friendly fingers (so that you can still tap and type on your phone without needing to take them off and freeze your fingers!).
They will keep your hands super warm and are perfect for everyday wear, and if burgundy isn’t your fave, there are other colors available, as well.
Heart-Shaped Leopard Print Faux-Fur Earmuffs
Heart-shaped? Check. Leopard print? Check. Faux fur? Check. These heart-shaped leopard print faux fur earmuffs check all the trend boxes, making them an absolute must-have for 2025!
Wearing these is the perfect way to stay warm while showing off your unique personal style. Even if you wear a simple, all-black monochrome winter outfit (think a black puffer, black leggings, and black boots), these earmuffs will add a playful pop of print for an eye-catching effect.
Faux Shearling Headwrap
How adorable is this faux shearling headwrap? Available in cream and tan, it’s a cute and cozy way to keep your ears warm and your hair out of your face. Plus, it’s under $10, so it’s a total style steal!
And don’t worry — this headwrap has stretch, so you’ll be able to fit it comfortably on your head, too.
SKIMS Cozy Knit Scarf
SKIMS is known for its ultra-soft fabrics, and the brand’s boucle knit scarf looks super snuggly — and warm.
I absolutely hate wearing scratchy scarves, so this soft, knit scarf is the perfect solution! It comes in white, pink, and black, plus it has coordinating gloves, too (more on those below).
SKIMS Cozy Knit Gloves
Make it a set with these cozy knit boucle gloves from SKIMS. Made from the same plush knit fabric as the scarf above, these gloves are ones that you won’t want to take off!
While they may not be tech-friendly, they are super soft and cover the entirety of your wrist for added warmth.
Merino Wool Rib Tall Cuffed Beanie Hat
I *live* in beanies during the wintertime, and I firmly believe that everyone needs several beanie hats in their accessory collection, especially if you reside in a place with cold winters.
It’s best to always start your collection with some good, basic styles, like this ribbed Merino wool cuffed beanie, which comes in gray, cream, taupe, and dusty pink. It’s a versatile item that can be worn with endless outfits, and it’s made with extra-fine merino wool and lightweight boucle yarn sourced from a premier Italian mill, making it a luxe yet budget-conscious choice.
Ribbed Knit Scarf
Add a pop of color to your winter looks (which, let’s be honest — can tend to be a bit dull) with this bright ribbed-knit scarf. It has fringed hems for an eye-catching detail, in addition to its vibrant orange hue. This scarf is very soft and long enough to be wrapped around a few times for a super cozy fit.
In addition to orange, it comes in purple, citrine, and ivory.
SKIMS Micro Fiber Headband
I’m obsessed with this microfiber headband from SKIMS — it’s such a fun, trendy piece to wear during the wintertime! It has a plush look similar to that of faux fur, with a smooth elastic at the center back and an embroidered SKIMS logo at the front.
Also available in pink and black, it’s a cute alternative to a hat or ear warmers and takes care of your hairstyle.
Snood Hood Balaclava
What do you get when you combine a scarf and a hood? A snood!
This genius invention gives you the warmth of a scarf combined with the coziness of a hood, and since it’s not attached to a hoodie, this means you can wear it with anything, making it a winter must-have.
Pull it over your head when you go outside, and it’ll keep you toasty warm, especially thanks to its bow at the opening, which can be tied for an extra-snug fit.
Knit Scarf with Zippered Neckline
So, now that we’ve covered snoods, let’s move on to another genius winter accessory: a scarf with an attached neckline.
IDK about you, but when I wear regular scarves for an extended period of time, they tend to move around and bunch up around my neck, which can be so annoying!
Zara is solving this common fashion dilemma with a knit scarf that has an attached neckline and a stylish zipper detail that will keep your neck warm and the rest of the scarf comfortably in place. Put it on over your head the way you would put on a sweater or a top, and wrap the long sides around your neck or shoulders. It’s such a cool and practical piece!
Hooded Scarf
Here’s one more clever winter accessory from Zara: a hooded scarf with buttons.
This scarf eliminates the need for a hat with its attached hood and cute button details that give it a unique look. While it may be difficult to tell from the photo, the two long sides are parts of the scarf (not sleeves) that you wrap around your neck.
A two-in-one item like this is especially ideal for someone who commutes to school or work daily, cutting down on the amount of items you need to take with you… and keep track of (I’m always losing hats and gloves during the winter!).
FP Movement x Smartwool Hike Socks
When we think of winter accessories, we usually think about hats, scarves, and gloves — but don’t forget about your feet! Keep your toes warm with some Merino wool blend socks. They have lightweight cushioning and a cute boho design in addition to their warm fabric.
Wear them with your winter boots, hiking boots, or even sneakers if you’re heading outside for a run.
Faux Fur Collar Scarf
Faux fur has been a major trend this season, and now you can incorporate the trend into any outfit with this faux fur collar scarf.
This versatile piece will give any jacket or coat the look of a faux fur collar while also adding warmth around your neck and chest. It’s an unexpected yet luxe layer that will take your winter styling to the next level and give you a glam look.
Lululemon Ribbed Knit Merino Wool-Blend Leg Warmers
Sometimes, staying warm in the winter calls for a little creativity, and leg warmers — which are an often overlooked option —might just be the cozy solution you need!
These aren’t just a fashion statement but a way to keep your legs warmer. This pair, in particular, is made with a ribbed knit merino wool blend that is thick, weighty, and naturally thermoregulating.
Additionally, these have a perfectly slouchy fit to puddle at your ankles and can be worn over leggings (or bare legs) with sneakers, Ugg boots, slippers, and more.
Plaid Scarf
One cold-weather accessory that will never go out of style? A plaid scarf — especially one featuring neutral tones.
This plaid scarf has brown, beige, black, and cream hues that will match almost everything in your wardrobe while also being soft and warm.
Wrap it around your head/hat for a super trendy look in 2025.
Fluffy Wool Earmuffs
These earmuffs are extra warm thanks to their Australian wool and merino wool fabrication, plus they’re extra cute thanks to their fluffy design.
Another good reason to wear earmuffs? They will hold your hair in place (and are less likely to flatten your hair the way wearing a hat can). This pair will also match your Ugg boots perfectly but at a fraction of the cost.
Bow Knit Beanie Hat
Is this not one of the cutest hats you’ve ever seen?! This knit beanie hat is covered in adorable pink bows for a coquettish effect that is guaranteed to make you stand out from the crowd. It puts a super girly spin on winter fashion.
Winter Shoes Under $200
Take on the winter elements in these 10 winter boots and shoes that are fashionable yet functional and are all under $200.
Moon Boot Classic Low 2 Water Repellent Nylon Boots
Moon Boots are so back! These larger-than-life boots have been around since the ’70s, and this year, they have made a massive comeback.
Not only do these boots make a fun fashion statement with their puffy design, but they are actually ultra-functional when it comes to braving winter weather conditions. They are insulated and water-repellent, and they feature a padded lining that’s inspired by astronaut gear (literally).
With a bunch of colors to choose from, these classic snow boots are a no-brainer.
Croc-Embossed Hiker Boots
For a sleek winter-friendly boot, try these chic black croc-embossed lace-up hiker boots.
The shiny exterior with a crocodile-embossed design gives them a luxe look while also offering rain and snow protection. They have faux fur sherpa details for a wintery vibe, plus two sets of laces—one that’s tonal and one that’s more colorful — giving you two different ways to wear these.
Faux Sherpa Winter Boots
I love the fluffy look of these cream-colored faux sherpa winter boots — they seem super cozy!
They aren’t just cute, though; they are built for winter weather with waterproof construction, and the faux fur actually provides enhanced insulation. Plus, the soles have traction to help prevent any slipping or sliding on slick sidewalks.
Also available in black with white faux fur accents, these winter boots are a budget-friendly option under $50.
Faux Fur Lace-Up Snow Boots
Keep your feet warm and dry with these affordable winter boots that come in two colors to choose from. They have a faux fur lining, seam-sealed construction for extra warmth, and are water-repellent (because who wants to walk around in wet socks?).
The boots’ lug sole helps to expel mud, snow, and ice, providing traction on slippery or wet surfaces, and it’s extra cushioned for a comfortable and shock-absorbing effect.
Ugg Ashton Addie Boots
We all know (and love) our classic Ugg boots, but let’s face it: they aren’t the most ideal shoe for wearing in the snow, rain, or ice. Upgrade yourself with Ugg’s Ashton Addie boots, which are built to withstand the winter elements.
These boots feature a full-grain waterproof leather exterior with sealed seams to help protect against the elements and a soft, warm interior with a blend of UGGplush wool.
The durable, grippy rubber outsole is ideal for wearing in slick, wet conditions, as well.
I particularly like the red laces for a stylish pop of color!
Tall Winter Boots
If you need extra warmth, go for a tall pair of winter boots. These will help keep your lower half that much warmer, and they are perfect for pairing with leggings or slim-fitting pants.
With faux fur details for style and enhanced insulation, plus a waterproof construction, these black boots are a great choice.
Hunter Stanly Insulated Waterproof Duck Boots
Duck boots are a classic, popular choice for rainy weather, and Hunter has a winterized pair that looks sleek and modern.
These duck boots are insulated for major warmth and feature a shiny, puffer-inspired exterior for a stylish touch. And, of course, they are 100% waterproof (Hunter is known for its rain boots, after all).
Timberland Skyla Bay 2.0 Mid Warm Lined Sneakers
If you aren’t worried about harsh weather conditions like snow, these warm-lined sneakers from Timberland make for a fantastic cold-weather shoe option. They have a laid-back look and a pull-on design that is great when you’re on the go.
They will keep your feet warm with their faux fur lining minus the bulk of standard winter boots, but still have traction, as well. Choose from four different neutral colors to wear with your casual winter outfits.
Faux Fur Ankle Winter Booties
Another good option for daily wear but a bit more winter-ready, these ankle booties have a sporty vibe similar to the sneakers above but with added benefits like a waterproof exterior.
They are lightweight, cushiony, and lace-up the way high-top sneakers do, yet feature a warm faux fur lining and non-slip rubber soles so that you can confidently navigate through snow-covered or uneven terrains.
The North Face Shellista V Mid Waterproof Boots
If you’re looking for a super sturdy pair of winter boots, The North Face’s Shellista boots are one of the best options for under $200.
These mid-calf boots have a ton of special features to keep you warm and secure during your winter outings, including a waterproof seam-sealed construction, a fleece lining and insulation for warmth, and rubber lugs on the soles that harden when the temperature falls below freezing to provide biting traction.
Combined with their modernized design, which is versatile for styling with any outfit, these winter boots are a winner.
