snood



I admit it: I love a good snood. Always have. But this week: maybe it's the weather right here, right now, but short of a giant poly sleeping bag, I can't think of a more covetable fashion item than the Burberry Giant Check Snood (shown here, from net-a-porter: yours for a mere £195).

Now, girls, I know what you're thinking: why can't I just do the same thing with a large scarf and some clever use of a needle and thread? It's kinda what I'm thinking (and I've got just the right moth eaten Burberry check scarf to play around with), altho I might well discover there's a reason. But somehow, this shape has really captured our collective imagination lately. Maybe it's simply the word: so Audrey Hepburn with Ray Bans. So little vintage MG rounding a sharp corner on the Riviera. What I want to know is, would a snood by any other name smell quite as sweet?

  1. Ah blog twins again, I was just giving much love to the Burberry snood, but I have fallen for the single loop one! Also re DIY snood, I just used a kilt pin to hold the ends of my Burberry scarf - works really well and no effort of sewing! This is until I can decide if I want a purple or beige snood for xmas xx

  2. i've never seen this item from burberry. interesting! although, i think i'll stick with my regular burberry scarf (not that i ever get to wear it, but it's a great standby).

  3. snoods are good. i've got two from jigsaw. the only time i've worn them pulled up over my head is when its raining... and then i definitely just look like a soggy mess, and not like audrey in the riviera! such is life in england i guess?
