Fashion trends
In the new season, two main trends in wearing knitted accessories stood out. On the one hand, stylists recommend choosing things in monochrome soothing colors. Gray snoods complete with knitted mittens look elegant and will suit not only young people, but also middle-aged women.Stylists offer older women to replace warm scarves with scarves-collars to give the image dynamism and elegance.
A good alternative to gray is ash rose. Accessories of this noble cold shade are especially appreciated in the new season, because they look quite bright, but at the same time not too defiant.
But the real must-have in the peak of the main trend is a bright silver-turquoise snood. Turquoise is the color of youth, therefore, in turquoise clothes, their owner always looks brighter, more cheerful and much younger than her years.
What snoods are worn in the new season?
Designers suggest having several snoods in different colors in your wardrobe, which will be easy to combine with different styles. Snoods look great not only with a casual-sporty style, but also with an evening one.
This season, the snood connected by the English cutter method is still relevant. Such a lush and very warm scarf is the most versatile option. English rib is combined with other knitting methods, for example, with a pigtail. Light openwork mohair snoods look very elegant and elegant.
Fur snoods also came into fashion.
- Bright yellow faux fur snood - for the most daring.
- Another popular novelty is the snood made of knitted natural rabbit fur - a great addition to a down jacket or even a cocktail dress at a New Year's party.
How to choose
Choosing a snood is easy enough. The collar scarf is worn loosely and should not be tight around the neck. The most universal size of a snood is about 60 centimeters long and about 30 centimeters wide. Such a snood has one turn, so it is much more convenient to wear it as a scarf, but this length will not be enough for a hood.
The length of the snud can vary and reach up to 170-180 centimeters. Such snoods are wrapped around the neck twice, so they can easily be worn both as a scarf and as a scarf with a hood. In addition, they are much warmer and remarkably warm in winter.
The most practical snood model is made in the form of a Möbius strip or figure eight. It is also called "scarf-infinity", i.e. endless scarf. An infinity scarf keeps its shape best.
How to wear
Many people, especially men, wear a snood only around their neck, but not everyone knows that this scarf can be used as a hood.
To do this, you need a long snood, which, having wrapped around the neck twice, can be easily used both as a scarf and as a hood, allowing the wide back part to cover the head.
Women of fashion wear a collar quite high, almost on the back of the head, which, although it does not warm up so well, looks spectacular and allows you to save your hair.
