Move Over, Cold! Celebrities' 'Balaclavas'

Recently becoming a fashion trend, balaclavas, available in various styles and colors, are practical cold-weather items that serve as both hat and scarf, enabling unique winter fashion statements.

When wearing a balaclava, it's important to match it well with the color of your clothes. Aespa's Karina completed a cute travel look with a grey balaclava that matched her grey coat.

Layering a coat or jacket with a balaclava can enhance warmth and complete a stylish look.

When wearing a balaclava that serves as both a hat and scarf, it's a good idea to simplify other accessories. Hyeri styled a chic winter look by pairing a balaclava with an oversized black coat.

Omitting other accessories, a red-colored sweater was styled as an inner layer to add a point of interest.

It's also a good choice to wear balaclavas with thick sweaters or hoodies. Actress Soyeon completed a cute daily look by matching a balaclava with a short wool jacket.

Material selection is also important. Since balaclavas cover a large area of skin, it's advisable to choose ones made from soft wool or fleece materials that don't irritate the skin.
