Eliza Faulkner, cold-weather dressing expert and maker of Instagram-famous balaclavas, weighs in.
and filling up Instagram feeds as of late. While the style dates back to the 1800s, it's been reintroduced on the runway in recent years and gone from perplexing outfit addition you'd expect to find in quirky-leaning closets to an influencer-approved cold-weather staple.
For those who want to feel the ear-and-neck-warming benefits of balaclava but don't know where to start in terms of picking one that suits your aesthetic and lifestyle, we turned to designer. She launched her namesake contemporary label, which is produced locally and ethically in Montréal, in 2012, and introduced balaclavas this winter using scrap pieces from tops and sweaters.
"Being in Montréal, it's so cold here, so I designed them as more of a practical thing," Faulkner says, adding that she was happy to use up the extra fabric. "I do think it's having its peak moment, but it's also really practical, especially in a place as cold as Montréal when you have so many layers on already. It's nice to just throw one thing on."
Faulkner's frilly and functional balaclavas are made using a soft, warm blend of wool and Tencel. They're super lightweight, which Faulkner argues makes them the perfect playful layering piece. "I love ruffles and frills and bows, so we're always trying to find ways of making things a bit more feminine or a little bit more extra. That's why we wanted to have that little ruffle," she says. "Then you can pull the hat down and it's a pretty scarf detail."
