When the temperatures drop, the coat becomes the central piece of the outfit. However, these are indeed the accessories that make all the difference. Balaclava, neck warmer or stole: these winter essentials no longer just keep you warm. Today, they define a style, affirm an allure and transform a a43> coat into an outfit that is elegant and contemporary.
The good news is that you don’t have to go overboard. With the right materials, the right proportions and a few style rules, accessorising a coat becomes a balancing act between comfort, elegance and modernity.
Why have accessories become essential in winter wardrobes?
Depuis plusieurs saisons, la mode met à l’honneur le luxe discret et les silhouettes épurées. Les manteaux sont souvent sobres, bien coupés, aux couleurs naturelles. Résultat : les accessoires prennent un rôle clé.
They add texture to an outfit, provide warmth without weighing down the silhouette, personalise a timeless coat and express your style without adding more pieces.
Natural fibres such as baby alpaca are perfectly suited to this trend: they are soft, insulating, elegant and durable.
The balaclava: the fashion accessory that shapes the silhouette
Long associated with technical clothing, the balaclava has made a remarkable comeback on the catwalks and in the streets. Revisited in fine materials, it has become a chic, urban accessory.
How to wear a balaclava with style?
– With a long, straight coat for a modern and minimalist look – By allowing the face to show through slightly for a soft look – In natural shades: ecru, grey, camel, deep black
The baby alpaca balaclava is exceptionally comfortable and lightweight. It frames the face without flattening it and replaces both a hat and a scarf. Ideal for those who want a clean, contemporary and functional look.
The neck and collar and breastplate turns: effortless elegance
The neck scarf is the perfect accessory for sleek looks. More discreet than a scarf, it protects effectively from the cold while maintaining a fluid line.
Why does the choker work so well?
– It does not create excessive volume
– It stays in place all day long
– It works equally well with fitted coats and oversized styles
For a successful style, we recommend:
– a high-end material such as baby alpaca,
– a colour that matches the coat,
– a soft texture that adds depth to the look.
It is the perfect accessory for an elegant everyday look, whether at the office or around town.
The stole: the chic and timeless finishing touch
– Simply draped over the shoulders for a sophisticated look – Loosely tied for a relaxed, chic style – Slipped under the collar for elegant protection against the cold
Made from baby alpaca, this stole offers cosy warmth without being heavy. It goes just as well with a classic coat as it does with a more structured piece. An essential for those who like to vary their looks with a single accessory.
How to match accessories and coats: the golden rules
For a harmonious look, a few simple principles are all you need:
– Balance volumes: loose coat + accessory close to the neck
– Limit excessive contrasts: opt for a natural colour palette
– Focus on quality rather than quantity
– Choose fine fabrics that instantly elevate your outfit
A well-tailored coat, paired with a baby alpaca accessory, is all you need to create an elegant and sustainable look.
