What feels like a new winter accessory to me – it’s certainly having a moment of late – the balaclava has long been essential for cold climates, whether it be holidaying in Europe.
My hot tip for wearing a balaclava is holding your breath, taking the plunge and inserting your whole head into the balaclava with your hair (if it’s long) tucked behind your ears.
You are wearing it, it is not wearing you! I like to style a balaclava with something quite paired back, like a pair of jeans and a plainer colour of coat / jacket to balance things out. If you can, match the balaclava to the colour of your accessories.
Balaclava – H&M
Jeans – Levi’s
Boots – Zara
