Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

With mercury plummetting and more ice, snow and strong winds forecast, it’s more important than ever to make sure you’re adequately dressed to face the arctic conditions we’ve been experiencing.

Not only will they keep you warm, but hats, scarves and gloves are a great way to accessorise your outerwear and update last season’s coat – and there are some awesome trends to tap into right now.

Here’s our pick of the best winter accessories for freezing weather…

Fair Isle

Hailing from the Shetland islands, Fair Isle patterns never really go out of style, but they’re have a major fashion moment this autumn/winter.

From pretty pinks to muted greys and khakis, these woolly knits are perfect for pairing with block colour coats and faux fur jackets.

Barbour Case Fairisle Beanie, £26.95; Case Fairisle Dog Jumper, £26.95, Outdoor and Country

M&Co Cream Knitted Fairisle Scarf, £18

White Stuff Star Fairisle Flip Mitts, £35

Pink

One of the biggest catwalk trends of AW22, hot pink has become the colour to be seen in this season.

If head to toe fuchsia doesn’t float your boat, why not try a punchy pink hat, scarf or pair of gloves to elevate a neutral ensemble?

M&Co Plain Cerise Pink Beanie Hat, £14; Navy Colourful Fairisle Jumper, £25.20 (was £36)

Dune London Landan Pink Fluffy Faux-Fur Scarf, £50

Jakke Tolly Faux Fur Fingerless Pink Mittens, £60, The Bias Cut

Quilted scarves

Give your favourite puffer jacket a high-fashion spin with a statement quilted scarf.

Not only are these voluminous wraps bang on trend, they’re super-toasty too.

Marks and Spencer Collection Light Khaki Quilted Scarf, £12.25 (was £17.50)

National Trust Recycled Padded Scarf, £20

Bucket hats

Love them or hate them, bucket hats are here to stay (well, at least for the meantime) and they’ve had a fuzzy winter makeover.

Swap your summer version for a cosy faux fur, mohair or shearling-lined style to top off your favourite coat.

FatFace Eliza Teddy Bucket Hat, £22.50; Marnie Check Scarf, £35; Tara 3 in 1 Coat, £185

Accessorize Teal Fluffy Bucket Hat, £9.80 (was £14)
