When the cold weather hits, it can hit hard. Stay warm and stylish with a matching set of cold weather accessories, including knit hats, gloves and scarves.
A Match Made in Heaven
A good winter accessory set includes one to four items. Gloves, a hat, a scarf, and a face warmer are all possible, though the knit hat and glove combo is the most common. Earmuffs and headbands sometimes replace the hat, and mittens replace the gloves. Typically, these items can be made from acrylic, wool, nylon or polyester, or some blend of the materials, for a combination of warmth and flexibility.
The most common reason to buy a matched set is as a replacement. More often than not, the last time it was cold enough to wear winter gear was so long ago, you've lost it all or outgrown it. Color coordination also works. Why ruin the look of your black coat with a green scarf, purple gloves and a red hat? They're also a popular gifts, as most sets fall within a twenty to thirty dollar range. The downside is, you can end up with unwearable sets composed of one hat and several unmatched individual gloves.
A Note on Kid's Winter Accessories
Most childrenson character patterns can be thin. Choosing cartoon and fictional character themed winter accessories can end up being an expensive mistake; instead look into warm winter wear in a favorite color or with a special shape so they can't get mixed up with the other kid's stuff.
