Men's Winter Accessories UK: Beanies, Scarves and Gloves Guide

A good beanie, scarf and pair of gloves does more for a winter outfit than another jumper. These are the cheapest items in a wardrobe to upgrade and the ones you reach for every cold morning. Here is how to choose and match them.

Beanies

A short cuffed beanie sits close to the head and looks neat under a collar or hood. The ribbed knit beanie is a simple choice that goes with most coats. Pick a neutral colour such as black, grey or navy, and you can wear it with everything.

Scarves

A scarf adds texture to a plain coat. The herringbone winter scarf has a soft brushed finish and fringed ends, and the brushed tartan scarf brings pattern to a dark overcoat. Wear a single loop for a relaxed look, or tuck it inside your coat for a cleaner line.

Gloves

Look for a lining and a snug fit at the wrist. The fleece-lined leather-look gloves keep out wind and look smarter than sports gloves. Choose a colour that matches your shoes or belt.

If you would rather take them together, the Winter Accessories Gift Set pairs a scarf, gloves and a beanie in one set, and the Scarf & Gloves Gift Set covers the scarf and gloves alone.

Caps and hats

For milder days a herringbone flat cap adds a classic British touch.

Matching accessories with coats

With a camel or grey overcoat, try a dark scarf and black gloves. With a puffer jacket, a beanie and plain scarf keep the look simple. For more advice on coats and layers, read our winter coat guide and layering guide.
