Every winter we look for chic ways to stay warm. This year, the quest for that research came to an end thanks to the trend of fashionable and functional balaclavas.
Don’t know what a balaclava is? Here’s a quick crash course.
Once reserved for winter sports like skiing, balaclavas are essentially wearable balaclavas that keep your neck, head, and face warm and comfortable in the cold (think ski mask, way cuter).
Recently, they have moved from the slopes to the streets. The balaclava trend emerged last winter, and now everyone from celebrities to influencers is wearing them, making them the cold weather accessory you never knew you needed.
Besides providing extra warmth, balaclavas make a major fashion statement. Whether it’s a colorful hand-knit balaclava from Etsy, a Free People beanie with a cool grandma essence, or a casual hooded scarf style from ASOS, you’ll look effortlessly cool.
Get your hands on the season’s cutest cold weather accessory with these chic balaclava picks from Anthropologie, Amazon and more.
