Best cold weather headbands for women according to redditors

Where in New England? There could be a huge difference in amounts of snow you will experience. I grew up in Central New York where the average yearly snowfall is easily over 100 inches.

Coats: I would highly recommend two coats, one long for those terrible blizzard like days so that the majority of your legs are covered, something like this. Then a second nicer coat for typical days or events, something like this.

Hats: If your coat has a hood, you can get by without a hat. If you do wish for a hat, get some like this that you can pull down on your head. Alternatively, if you wear your hair up a lot get this.

Scarves: Scarves are great, get several in various colors and thickness. Make sure they are wide as well as long so you can pull them up over your chin on those windier days. Otherwise, they are a great way to dress up your coat while keeping you warm.

Gloves: If you drive you want a pair of gloves in the car just to use to pump gas so you don't have to touch the cold pump while keeping gas from getting on your nice gloves.

Boots: This really varies with area, some people are content in their Uggs. However, places with more snow that you may have to walk through several inches daily I would recommend something with a rubber bottom and sturdier body than Uggs such as these.

Clothes: Don't focus on just long sleeve shirts, these can sometimes be too thin for a winter day. Consider some stand alone sweaters or a few cardigans to wear over short sleeves or those thinner long sleeve shirts. Plus, cardigans are great for layering as some buildings really crank up the heat and others do not (and I just love cardigans obviously).

Sorry this is super long. Hope it helps! I was not very selective in my examples, there are definitely better looking/more fashionable options out there for each item.

The good news is that the seasons change gradually and you've got time to figure this out as it gets colder and colder. I'm in California too (Santa Cruz) with similar low temperatures as you (high 30s in the winter mornings) and here's what I do:

Shorts --->change to pants

Shirt---->keep it but add a fleece and a wind breaker

Gloves--->get thicker ones, full fingered

Ears---> get some ear protection like this: https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Fur-Double-Layer-Chelonia-Headband/dp/B002BEDRE4/ref=sr_1_5?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1475096562&sr=1-5&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=running+ear+muffs

Need some face protection?--> I sometimes where this too: https://www.amazon.com/Seirus-Innovation-8030-Neofleece-Combo/dp/B0018BJSQC/ref=sr_1_6?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1475096627&sr=1-6&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=ski+mask

California transplant who just moved to Chicago checking in. I've actually been really concerned/paranoid about all the new things that would touch my face during the winter.


One relatively inexpensive solution I've found so far is adding fleece-y ear cover head band things into my hat rotation. They're inexpensive enough to stock up on and really easy to launder. I like this one a lot because the front band is thinner (and thus a little less dorky), but the same company also has heavier weight options for really cold weather. Then I just put my hood (which is fortunately wide enough not to touch my face) up for added windproofing.

Here's a pretty beret.

Here's a kinda cool headband with a flower.
