• If it’s cold outside, the scarf can be wrapped around the neck several times. Thus, he will well fit his neck and warm you.
• Often, snood is used as a hat. Wrap a scarf around the neck a couple of times and cover their head. This method of wearing will make your image very romantic. In addition, it will be an excellent alternative to the headdress. After all, there are women who do not like hats due to the fact that they spoil the hairstyle on their heads. And the snood will not only preserve styling, but also cope with the cold.                                                                                                                                                                  
• If you want to make your image more elegant, you can attach a beautiful brooch to the snap. Thus, you will fix the scarf on the head. In addition to decorativeness, practical benefits will be obtained - the snood will not subside from your head.
• Snud is also a great cloak that can be worn even on outerwear. Bright colors of the scarf diversify plain coats and fur coats and bring novelty to your image.
• There is another original option - the snood is to wear mono as a knitted vest or bolero. One has only to fold it in half and put it through the head on the torso. In this case, the upper loop should be raised to the shoulders.

How to choose a snood

As a rule, the snood is designed to warm you in the cold season. Therefore, choose a scarf based on your autumn-spring wardrobe. If you need a snood for spring and summer, select this accessory from light fabrics.

The snood, like the rest of the scarves, is located near your face, so you need to take into account some nuances. The pattern and coloring of the scarf can emphasize your facial features or, conversely, identify the flaws and make them more obvious. For example, add excessive pallor to the face and make the color of the eyes faceless.

The snood of bright and contrasting waste will look great on women with dark hair and brown or green eyes. In this case, the color of the scarf must be selected based on the tone of the skin and lips - cold or warm.

Owners of sharp and elongated facial features are well suited for snoods with geometric patterns. But women with a round face will give such sharp shapes even greater roundness.

If the snood is large and voluminous, then it is more suitable for owners of a long neck, otherwise such a scarf will create the impression that the face is drowning in drapery.

If you want to try the snood as a hood, it is worth noting: it is suitable for all types of face, with the exception of the elongated. In this case, the scarf will only emphasize the thinness and elongation of the features. But the round face visually adjusts.

Choosing the color of the snood is an individual matter and depends on the imagination of a woman:

• if you like casual style, you can try knitted white snood or gray and dark green,
• sharpes of dark-beard or blue, dressed in the form of a hood, will give your image of femininity,
• if you have a chiffon dress or a light silk suit, a snood of beige shades will come up with it.
• in the case when the snood is an addition to the main details of your wardrobe, choose a scarf in the tone of clothes.
