Despite their super-trendy status this winter, I have been hard-pressed to find snoods that meet my criteria: they must be very bulky and must wrap around my neck at least twice. Hence, you can imagine how happy I was when I received a package containing the perfect one — in my favourite colour, no less! — from Spratters & Jayne. Handmade with luxe Peruvian Highland Wool, they ring in at a slightly-sticker-shock-inducing $164 but I can guarantee that one of these beauties will a) earn you a zillion compliments b) last several seasons c) keep you ultra-warm and chic and finally d) cure the mid-winter blues. Money well spent? I’d say so: Mine has been looped around my neck permanently for weeks!

Whatever you want to call it – infinity scarf, tube scarf, super-snugly snood – the loopy style is well on its way to becoming winter’s It accessory.
Christine has been all about the snood for months, while other friends have regaled me stories of stolen snoods and mad snood hunts. (One actually admitted she’s not sure what she loves more: the scarf or getting to repeat the word “snood” over and over.)
The trend appeared on the fall 2009 runways of designers like Burberry and Missoni (shown), and to Christine’s our delight, stores like H&M and Zara are now stocking snoods of varying designs and designations.
With the snood’s throw-and-go ease and practical versatility (if your ears get cold, you can simply pull it up and don it as a hood), no wonder the fashion world is obsessed!
