When Was The Balaclava Popular?

Nov 09, 2022

Fashion has always been confusing to people. For example, with the cold air spreading in winter, this balaclava hat, which seems to be going to the bank to do something bad, became popular all over the fashion circle. Not only the major brands have launched relevant pieces, but also the models in Gaoding show have begun to wear such hats.

Some people said, isn't this the knitting headgear used by the bank robbers? In fact, this balaclava has a certain origin with this terrorist activity. The earliest balaclava hat originated from balaclava in crimea. This is a kind of wool hood that almost completely encloses the head and neck, with only eyes and some noses exposed.

During the Crimean War, due to the cold climate, local residents wore such hats to protect their faces and necks from the cold and strong wind. Later, the British army did as the Romans did, and brought this hat back to Britain. The Balaklava hat became the name of this hat.

The balaclava was originally a wool hood for mountain climbers and skiers to wear in cold weather. Later, however, its meaning was further extended. People called the headgear with the characteristics of the balaclava (covering the face, only exposing the eyes and nose) balaclava.

Balaclava

The balaclava hat plays a role in many fields because it can cover up the face and hide the identity. For example, what comes to your mind now——

However, unlike the black headgear in the past stereotype, the recently popular balaclava hat has been packaged by major fashion brands as a fashion piece with both comfort and warmth. The soft, waxy touch adds a layer of filter to the hat; The low saturation colors such as milk tea, warm grey and oatmeal make it more acceptable - if the person wearing it is a lively little person with a small face, or a beautiful girl with delicate appearance, it seems more lovely.

The colorful balaclava hat dilutes the traditional people's memory of its "professional function". All kinds of blue, green and even pink knitted wool balaclava hats bring many bright colors to the gray winter. In addition, it's super thermal function - I don't know about others, but people in Northeast China must like it. Wear it, no longer afraid of ears and neck being frozen!

There are two popular balaclava hats. One is that the brim only covers the lower jaw, which is especially suitable for sisters with short necks.

However, it should be noted that the size of the cap should not be too small - if it tightly covers the face, it looks like a swimming cap or surgical cap.

Or choose a balaclava hat tied at the chin. A bow can dispel people's doubts about "what's wrong with your head".

Another kind is the balaclava hat, which extends to the neck. It looks a bit like a sweater hat, and looks very handsome.

The balaclava of this length can be used as a mask or a scarf. This feeling of being completely wrapped gives people a sense of security - if it is not too eye-catching, social terrorists should have one.

As for the choice of balaclava's color, generally speaking, the bright color is more reliable than the black, white and other colors - black is easy to remind people of robbers, and white is too like the dressing in a hospital - of course, the white balaclava with appropriate tightness and size is also very youthful when worn properly.
