When it’s 40 or 50 degrees outside, fingerless gloves are a stylish way to keep your hands warm. Here are some of our favorites. Free Fingers, a line of fingerless gloves handmade by Nina Wexler, are made from cashmere blends in endless color combinations. They add the perfect hint of homespun cool to any outfit and all the profits go to breast cancer research foundations. A more versatile version by Bop Basics, features a button-back flap so you can go with a fingerless or mitten style for when the mercury drops. For a sophisticated, dressed-up look, try a classic pair of leather, elbow-length fingerless gloves paired with a three-quarter-sleeve wool coat.

The viscose rayon blend blazer is warm, but not bulky and easily fits under a winter coat (which you’ll be needing). Contrast the bold Proenza-esque pattern with a simple blouse and black pants. In lieu of pumps, try a pair of classic lace-up leather ankle boots for a boyish, yet polished look. A large, bright bag will make the outfit pop.

A stylist's tip: dark denim tends to bleed in rainy weather so opt to wear jeans in a lighter wash or leggings. Wear a comfortable, loose-fitting, long-sleeved top. Kain makes a great one (note, these tees can be see-through so wear Top Secret Double Agent Bralette underneath). A durable coat will protect you from the damp, possibly wet weather. Treat your favorite ankle boots with a water-repellant spray like Meltonian Water and Stain Protector to make them water-resistant. Wear a handbag you don't mind getting wet, or try JW Hulme Co's Linwood bucket bag (on sale now) which is made from full-grained waterproof leather. Don't forget to throw on a beanie and a pair of fingerless gloves.
