Fashion for balaclavas
There are things that everyone has long forgotten and do not remember: they include knitted leggings, brightly colored leggings, and strange-looking trousers with hairpins. They, these orphaned accessories, about which no one else knows or wants to know, continue to gather dust on the mezzanine shelves in the old grandmother's Khrushchev. A few years ago, waist bags could have joined them, but comfort won over prejudices and bananas are still in demand, although designers had to transform them a little. And this year... balaclavas are back in fashion.
The balaclava became the most talked about trend of the new cold season in February 2018 after the show Calvin Klein in New York. Even then, in February, every fashionista wanted to buy a balaclava hat and look like once in childhood And this wardrobe item appeared during the Crimean War, that is, at the end of the 19th century. Then the British, sending their husbands to war, knitted woolen hats for them. And those, in turn, in order to protect their faces from the piercing sea wind, rain and other weather troubles, cut holes in knitted hats for the eyes. In the future, the use of balaclava caps expanded significantly, and today it already has not so much protective functions, but rather a rebellious hidden meaning – remember at least Pussy Riot.
