The trend for this season's accessories according to The Telegraph, are simple shoes, brogues, quilted bags and snoods. Snoods are like hoods for your neck. They function like scarves but are less cumbersome to wear - you simply throw on over your neck and go about your day.
Featured prominently on the Burberry Fall 09 runway, these ingenious neck warmers not only keep you toasty but also puck a punch. Slung with nonchalance around your neck, they immediately capture attention with their slightly larger size.
Talking about large sizes, I remember once I was at Neuschwanstein, and it was snowing out, everyone was freezing and huddling up and loading up on hot tea. I was looking at the selection of ice cream (yes, I love the cold) and making a decision when I noticed the guy next to me in line had 3 snoods (on first look I thought they were extra chunky scarves). Needless to say, he looked overwhelmed and disproportinate.
He wore them to keep warm and I get it. But since snoods are going to be quite ubiquitous this season, I would say throw on another jacket if you are cold because when you wear multiple snoods, you might end up looking like a victim of the trend out in the cold.
If you're looking for one, Burberry has a Broken Fairisle Fine Wool Snood (a wool/cashmere blend) for US$325
