For those of us who thrive in sunshine and balmy temps, winter can be downright depressing. Bright, vibrant hues are one way to banish a bad case of the winter blahs; another is a beautifully embroidered accessory that makes bundling up feel like an occasion to look forward to. Luckily, embroidery is abundant this season, with colorful florals and elegant metallic stitching popping up on everything from block heel ankle boots to of-the-moment berets and bags. We've curated a collection of our fave add-ons to keep you snug and stylish from now until spring.
Uterqüe Embroidered Tulip Loafers ($147): Heels? Who needs ‘em. Equipped with a statement chain and eye-catching tulip embellishment, what these emerald beauties lack in height they more than make up for in style.
Mango Floral Embroidery Bag ($80): Winter florals FTW. Say nah, thanks to gloomy gray days by busting this showstopping sac out with a statement coat and punchy red lips.
Streets Ahead Wild Horizon Embroidered Belt ($128): A bold belt can instantly transform classic black trousers or everyday jeans into an Insta-worthy ensemble.
MeMoi Embroidered Over-the-Knee Sock ($28): When the temps take a dip, slip these stunners over a trusty pair of tights to take on the cold like a boss. An added bonus? They’re the perfect partner for a serious Netflix and chill sesh.
