Snood style

Islamic style on the catwalk: Snoods at Lacoste

It seems as though designers can’t get enough of the headscarf style. Lacoste went for a sporty style that covers the head and neck. This new ’snood’ style is cropping up more and more often and comes in everything from the ghastly to the pleasantly surprising!

So what is a snood, well it’s what you get when you cross a scarf and a hood apparently. My first thought was never ever wear one, but after Lacoste’s reinvention I’m starting to have a change of heart.

Do’s

From the so, so good

From the so, so good

Go for colours that compliment your face (the same principals as hijab headscarves)

Try simple first, anything with a cap or tassels etc. are best left alone until you know what works for you

Fine knits can work really well, chunky only really works it you’re wearing a lovely winter coat to go with it.

Simple but effective

Simple but effective

Don’ts

Stear clear of anything too thick and bulky (especially if you have a round head like me) it will make you look like a puffball mushroom!

Choose colour wisely, only attempt bold colours if you have a dark skin tone.

Another colour warning, if it’s too pastely it will look very old fashioned

To the oh so bad! Pastel tones are not working here

So now you’re all set to get cosy in a snood. Just so long as the weather doesn’t suddenly take a turn for the better!
