Those 15˚C days Liv mentioned were definitely a bonus, but we Canadian gals know better than to presume this chilly weather isn’t here to stay. And although it’s tempting to hide under multiple layers of black and grey as we settle into winter, a dose of cheerful colour can go a long way when it comes to facing dreary winter days.

A colourful coat would definitely do the trick, but the easiest and most affordable way to brighten up your cold-weather look is with vibrant accessories, such as suede and leather gloves in happy hues like purple, turquoise and fuchsia. As a bonus, your hands will look lovely as you wave buh-bye to frostbite!
