Don't Bundle Up like a Nine-Year-Old: Gloves and Scarves for Grown-Ups!

This winter, staying warm doesn't have to be damaging to your wardrobe. The days of layering on outdated (or far too youthful) hats, gloves and scarves is over thanks to a few trends we can't get enough of. This year, take some time to sort through those knits you've had forever and replace them with a few new pieces that are more adorably up to date. The looks we found below prove that winterwear isn't just for kids. Think of these winter pieces as the gloves, hat and scarf for the grownup who still enjoys bundling up for blistering cold weather-but wants to look stylish at the same time!

Eternity scarves

This looped and linked version of the classic scarf has swiftly become a must-have winter accessory this season. Eternity scarves are extra long and wide and are worn looped around your neck. Not only are they super fashionable, but they'll keep you warm all winter long. For a super casual and comfy version under thirty dollars, check out this two-tone soft knit Eternity Scarf from Urban Outfitters (About $28). If you're looking for one that you can wear with a dressier jacket, try this stylish scarf by Portolano (On sale for $30).

Snood

Pronounced snOOd (think scarf meets hood) is a hybrid of two winter essentials. The reason we love the newly coveted snood so much is this: it keeps you incredibly warm. Because the hat and scarf are attached, you don't get that pesky draft on the back of your neck and it's incredibly convenient. For those who will forever love chunkier cable knits, try this cozy Snowball Hoodie Scarf from Urban Outfitters (About $38). If you're looking for a snood that's a bit more sleek with less bulk try the Hooded Scarf from Urban Outfitters (About $28). It's incredibly stylish and a bit more versatile.

Leather Gloves

Whether it's a vintage pair you'll never give up or a brand new set that you've been eyeing in a boutique, leather gloves are the mits you want for mature hands. This season, we are seeing 'em in a variety of colors, textures and lengths. For those of your who took up the three quarter length sleeve jacket trend, you'll want to invest in a pair of long gloves like these from Ann Taylor Loft (About $50). If color is what you crave, try on these Italian Silk Lined Leather Gloves By Fratelli Orsini, available in 23 colors (About $70). They will look amazing with any color jacket. If you own enough smooth pairs, try on these Quilted Leather Gloves by Chaps for Kohls (About $30), or if detail is what you crave, you can't go wrong with these super affordable Lace Up Leather Gloves by Meron from Target (About $15), or go for the splurge on these stylish studded Astor gloves from Michael by Michael Kors (About $46).
