Discover this season’s hot new looks
冬季酷炫時尚風 - 一起來探索本季熱門的全新裝扮.

When Old Man Winter blows in, we often start looking for our warmest clothing. But in our effort to stay warm, we shouldn't forget about fashion. In fact, the fashion industry has introduced some beautiful accessories and colors for the 2014 season!

Gloves
This season's gloves not only keep your hands warm but also can be a beautiful winter accessory. Elbow-length gloves haven't been popular since the 1960s, but they're back. They're being paired with coats, dresses and pants. Leather and real fur are just a couple of the material they are made of. To update them, some gloves have been given long side zippers.

Scarves
The popular new looks for scarves are flower designs, animal prints and exciting winter colors. Men and women alike will enjoy this season's scarves in fur and lightweight wool. If you can buy only one new accessory this winter, make it a scarf.

Warm winter fashions
Fur headbands are nice and practical because they guarantee warmth and look pretty. This season you'll even see them worn around the neck like a fur collar or scarf. Real fur is enjoying popularity once again, but fake fur can be just as soft and warm. It's also a much kinder choice for the animals.

Hats are trendy this season with lots of designs for men and women to choose from. Both will enjoy berets, caps, turbans, knitted hats, fedoras and more. With such a wide selection to choose from, you'll find one that's right for you.

Winter's hottest colors
During the winter months, nature often lacks color, but 2014's fashion colors are rich and bright. Shades of green, from dark to very light green, are popping up in fashion shows. Deep blue, beautiful purple and rich red also make the list for exciting winter colors! This season, no matter what you wear, do it in style!
