Lately, as I often find myself reaching in my closet for scarves and fleece jackets, I have come to realise that winter is well and truly — finally — upon us. At RUSSH, having begun our winter round ups to aspire and inspire for the season ahead, it's time to dive head-first into our favourite winter accessories, from woolly socks to warming fragrances and handbag-friendly moisturisers.

Mohair and cashmere will always make the list, as well as you'll see below an excellent move by Australian brand, Toorailee. We only imagine how well these neutral soft-as-cloud accessories would pair with a sleek coat or tucked into a pair of ballet flats. Loafers are also on our fashion forecast, but we're leaning toward neutrals this season – redolent of our school shoes of choice.

Cooler temperatures call for a good dose of practicality — but that doesn't need to compromise on style, as Bassike has proven with their knitted balaclava headpiece. A good scarf is also always needed and, if you ask us, well worth the investment as if you get it right, a good scarf can last you a lifetime of timeless love. Below we have included our knitted favourites from brands like Jil Sander and Viktoria & Woods, although I must say, I would never underestimate any of second-hand knitwear you might find for layering purposes at your local St Vinnies or Lifeline. Having said all that, peruse at your own pace, below are 14 of our favourites for winter with RUSSH.
