how to accessorize in winter - hats, scarves and gloves

I received this email in my inbox:

 I like to know if you had anything written about cold weather accessories? 
 
For me one of the main things I learned from the 7 Steps to Style program is that accessories make the finishing touch for the  outfits, which I neglected before. 

I made a big progress in the accessories  wise when it comes to my summer outfits as well my indoor outfits, but no clue what to do with the outwear. 

I  usually just wear ugly sloppy  knitted beanie hat with the matching  mittens, but   I want to be more stylish, when I am outside, but no idea how.  I do not even know what style of hats exists, let alone decide what would match my dramatic / classic/ casual style. 

Also do not know if I  supposed to match hat/ scarves/ mittens or that is too condescending?  When it comes for indoor accessory, like jewelry , you  wrote  many pieces about the scale and shape  issues  and what type of jewelry goes what style. Is there anything like that for cold weather accessories?  Like hat type for face shapes, or style ? 

Thanks for the advice.

How to Accessorize in Winter

Some time back I wrote this post about how to accessorize with hats, scarves and gloves.  Plus if you want to know about how to choose a hat shape to flatter your head, read this post on hat shapes.    Now consider the following three essential ingredients to making your accessories work in winter.

1. Consider Colour

Work in a color palette that matches but doesn’t have to be exactly the same.  For example here I’ve chosen gray and black as my colours, they work together easily but don’t have to match.
