We thought we would never see her again… But she is back: the balaclava will be beautiful and very present on the heads of fashionistas. Are you going to adopt it too?
After the toe rings and the trucker sweater, it’s the turn of another accessory from our childhood: the balaclava. You remember, the one that pulled our hair and made it electric when we took it out, the one that kept us too warm sometimes but our parents absolutely wanted us to wear, the one that we lost all the time and that we sometimes found in found objects. Yes, this mix which skilfully combines scarf and hat is indeed back on the heads of trendy girls. Be careful, there is no question of wearing the hood too tight with frills on the front. It adapts to the times. It was the famous influencer and model Carla Ginola who very recently brought it up to date on one of her Instagram posts. The talented model has bet on a beige mesh hood, which does not perfectly fit the oval of her face: it is slightly oversize. It suits him very well!
The balaclava had also been spotted on the fashion shows of Fashion Week which announced the new trends to follow this fall-winter, in particular during the Céline men’s fashion show. It is worn soberly, open above the head and covering the nose and mouth. Other brands like Gucci had also launched their revisited balaclava model before that.
How to wear the balaclava?
That’s it, we convinced you and you love balaclavas? We are now going to share with you tips on how to wear it well. First, choose a slightly oversized model and preferably in mesh. In terms of color and pattern, the choices are multiple and you can really go for balaclavas that you like. Then, consider wearing it with your hair loose underneath, otherwise a bump will appear on the back of your head. You can wear it with a winter coat instead of your scarf, or underneath if you are chilly. If you like: put off your balaclava!
