Which balaclavas to wear this winter ?

The balaclavas: a timeless, popular accessory

As the years go by, the balaclava remains the ultimate fashion accessory and often stands as a bold addition to any outfit. Chloé Sevigny wore it on a family stroll through the streets of New York, while supermodel Cara Delevingne celebrated it paired with a sparkling outfit by Stella McCartney at the 2024 Met Gala and actress Diane Kruger sported a daring bright orange version at a COS show last year.

Covering the lower part of the neck, some designs go for simplicity and sobriety, such as labels Lemaire, The Row and Simone Rocha. Yet, the latter allows a little, sparkling touch with crystals embroidered on the balaclavas of its Fall/Winter 2024-2025 collection. As for Moncler, Acne Studios, Chanel and Mango, they are turning to ultra-pale cream shades – ideal hues for those heading off to the ski resorts.

Now, what do we find in our top 3? The Courrèges zip-up balaclava comes first, followed by a black alpaca piece by Perfect Moment, and on a completely different note, by the Ganni pale pink balaclava, which can be tied at the front – the editorial board has literally been seduced by it. Mysterious or girly, minimalist or formal, oversized or mini, this unisex knitted piece will always be synonymous with a look that stands out.
