Trend Alert! The Snood

It's a scarf sans the dangly bits. A bit like an oversize collar. Totally awesome for klutzy people, example moi, who tend to leave things behind if they aren't securely attached to their bodies. And oh. It's very fall chic.

Both Burberry Prorsum and Missoni featured the snood in their Fall '09 RTW collections. The slouchy cowled drape of the Missoni snood will work with most any wintry outfit.

This totally cute snood from Promod is bargain compared to the pricier designer versions. I've seen this in rich teal, caramely brown and creamy white, at the store in Hyderabad. Love.

This snood is slouchier and snugglier. Very cute.
