A snood, or an infinity loop, as it is romantically called in English-speaking countries, is not a new invention. Every girl knows that there are tube scarves, and many even have such a functional accessory. In case, for some reason, you have not yet bought a snood, we invite you to look into our catalog where you can choose and buy a snood, scarf or shawl. We will tell you how this accessory came into fashion, and how to properly fit it into your wardrobe.
HOW DID THE SNOODS APPEAR AND WHEN DID THEY COME INTO FASHION?
The idea of wearing an object resembling modern snoods on the head, shoulders or neck is not new: the term is known to first appear in European texts of the eighth century. Then snoods were a subspecies of caps – ladies wore them to hide long hair, which at that time was obscene to show. So, we can say that the question of how to beautifully tie a snood on the head worried the girls even then. Removable frills became the next milestone in the development of the circular accessory – it is worth recognizing that they did not add heat, but they were considered a stylish addition to the look of not only women, but also men.
Snood scarves burst into modern fashion in 2009 – then, on the catwalk of the London Winter Fashion Week, Burberry showed beautiful fur designs casually thrown over the shoulders of models. In the same year, Missoni introduced knitted versions of the infinite scarves, which the whole world adored. And today you can find a huge number of options for how to wear a snood: in two turns, in one turn, on the head, on the shoulders, under or over the outerwear. And here are some tips on how to combine this accessory with your outerwear.
HOW TO WEAR A SNOOD WITH A COAT?
All the latest trends encourage us to choose a coat as if you choose it not for yourself, but for your dad or boyfriend. Oversize and hypersize is wonderful, because under such a coat you can wear several sweaters at once, but there is one caveat – the front of the neckline is too open. Here snood will come to your aid! Choose a voluminous model and wear over a coat to cover the neckline to the chest. Trends must be warm!
HOW TO WEAR SNOOD WITH A DOWN JACKET?
Manufacturers of warm jackets and down jackets often care more about the warmth of the product, and therefore the zip lock is often fastened almost up to the chin. How to wear your favorite snood in this case? There are two options: if your accessory has a compact size, it can be worn underneath, thereby warming the upper part of the product. The second option is to fasten the lock and put on a snood over the down jacket.
HOW TO WEAR A SNOOD WITH A SHEEPSKIN COAT?
A sheepskin coat is the type of clothing that can look completely different, therefore we will analyze combinations of snoods and the most popular models of sheepskin coats:
An aviator sheepskin coat. It’s the trend of the season, which is made according to the principle of leather jackets or men’s flight jacket. Slip your scarf over the top to cover the neckline at the front. And if the sheepskin coat has a band collar, then first lift the upper edge of the collar, and then put on the snood. This will help keep the collar in the desired position.
A classic button-down sheepskin coat. It is recommended to wear thin knitted snood, easily throwing it over your head with such a feminine piece of clothing. By the way, with the help of a thin snood, you can try on the trend for turbans by wrapping it around your head several times. By the way, shawls can be used for the same purposes.
A sheepskin coat with a hood. If your model has a large hood (as a rule, the fur is inside), you can do without a snood at all. But if you really want to wear your favorite accessory, choose a model that is not too voluminous and wear it under a sheepskin coat.
After our short manual on what a snood is and what to wear it with, we are sure that there are no more reasons to postpone its purchase! A warm, comfortable, stylish and beautiful snood scarf is a great gift idea for yourself or your loved ones!
