The holidays are coming to an end and all we have to look forward to is… many cold days ahead. As we put away our festive fashion, it can start to feel a little dark at times. Not to mention, it’s tricky dressing for the elements that will come the next few months. But, I will not let the cold get me down style-wise and neither should you!
The key to winter dressing (besides loading up on layers) is lots of warm accessories. We all know about beanies, scarves and gloves, those are the basics. This season I challenge you to take a risk and rock a balaclava. What’s that you ask? It’s a mix between a hood and a hat and it will keep you extremely warm. The winter accessory comes in all different knits, fabrics, colors and styles, plus, they were spotted all over the Fall/Winter runways making an even stronger case to wear this polarizing piece. A balaclava will elevate your wardrobe and get you out of your cold weather rut. Below are 10 of our favorites to get you started.
