Up in Arms

With all the new wintertime accoutrements on the market, how do you know which fashion accessory is right for you?

Consider your situation (and your answer will follow). Wiry chicken legs? Opt for leg warmers. Appalling locks? Toss on a beret (or try washing them already).

Bat wing flubber or unruly arm hair? For that we’ll point you toward Lara Kazan’s arm warmers. The clever creations will keep out the chill when going sans sleeves and hide any developing problems on the, um, upper-appendage front.

They also suit all the new wintertime styles. The cable-knit pair has an earthy look (and snap-on mittens). Fingerless gloves are a little more rock ’n’ roll (and extend down your forearm so your wrists won’t freeze). The military-inspired snap closure set is perfectly utilitarian.

They come in all the muted autumnal tones you’ve been looking for — so it seems that all of your options are covered.

And your arms, too.
