Balaclavas

The balaclava was the must-have accessory this winter, but if you haven’t gotten your hands on one yet, don’t worry — if the runways at NYFW are any indication, statement headwear is here to stay. Runways featured the multipurpose accessory in everything from minimalistic black (Proenza Schouler) to audacious furry pastels (Christian Cowan). Just remember that headwear is a complicated and so stay mindful before you jump headfirst into this trend.

GET THE LOOK: DIY headwear is all the rage right now, so try going local in your search for the perfect balaclava. Crocheted caps of all sizes, colours and shapes from local businesses can be found on Depop, Instagram and Etsy — or tie a bright scarf around your head for a babushka look.
