Laccessory of Winter 2022? The most talked about responds to the name of balaclava. Things? This is the classic balaclava, which originally takes its name from the city of Balaklava, where British troops suffered a resounding defeat during the Crimean War over a hundred years ago. Fully covered, hood with holes on the face including to warm the uniform.
Where we have seen it
Today, ballava is much more than just a protective headdress. And it takes on the meaning of trend: it is impossible not to notice it on the Miu Miu Winter 2021/2022 catwalk shot on the snow of Cortina d’Ampezzo. In knit, wool or stretch fabric, like the one proposed at the fashion show of Raf Simons. A mania that comes directly on TikTok in a DIY key, which derives from the increasingly pressing need in times of pandemics to cover one’s face. Even if for a strange fashion joke, the must-have model of the season leaves its nose and mouth free, wrapping the neck. Preferable in a bright color, which stands out from the rest of the outfit, from green to pink, from blue to red. An accessory that immediately became central also in the collections of low cost or handmade brands, in a patchwork, decorated and colored version (some names: Lirika Matoshi, Deima Knitwear, Paloma Wool).

How to combine Balaclava in Winter 2022
Any suggestions for combining balaclava with style? They come, as always, from the catwalks. Booking for the white week is not necessary: the balaclava is also cleared through customs in city look. The Belgian designer & Co. agree: the balaclava is worn in contrast, on the maxi quilted jacket or the down filled comforter. To further warm up the outfit, a matching maxi scarf. For the rest, just make it the protagonist by focusing on neutral and classic garments, such as a pair of wide black trousers.
Other ideas from stilyng: sul checked coat (Max Mara) or with the classic office suit (Jacquemus, Givenchy).
