Decadent fur details (whether real or faux), have been popping up all over the Fall '13 runways, making their way onto a range of coats, dresses, tops, and accessories. However, there was one specific trend that really stood out: statement fur scarves. Forget the usual black and brown hues; these new scarves come in a range of vibrant colors like Carolina Herrera's deep plum neck wrap and Prabal Gurung's bright white oversize snood, seen here. Lucky for you (and us), you don't have to wait months and months to get the same standout look. We found some similar colored scarves and wraps for you to add instant interest to your cold-weather getup right now. Just shop our editors' picks below.

The easiest way to perk up your look? Today's fashion tip is incredibly easy: put a cap on it. We first started seeing sporty hats last year, and from the looks of these polished street stylers below, the trend is still going strong. Not only will this trend add a tomboy tilt to any look, it's the perfect remedy for bad Winter hair days. Try pairing a sleek leather rendition with a floral or printed dress for a fun play on ladylike-meets-sporty, or style a bright baseball cap with boyfriend jeans, a slouched tee, and oxfords for an effortless, off-duty look. Any way you spin it, it's a no-brainer in our style books. Shop our editors' picks below to add an instant pop of cool to your cold-weather getup now.
