Hello, dollbabes!
Remember Trendy Tuesday, from days of long ago? Well, I figured it was time to start bringing that series back…at least more often than I have over the past few months.
Today’s Trendy Tuesday is all about the snood, which made it’s debut over a year ago. It wasn’t until the past 6 months that snoods have become more mainstream…despite their annoying name…so if you thought that snoods were tacky or only for runway models, think again!
what is a snood?
As the name suggests, a snood is a hybrid between a scarf and hood. The original version of a snood is actually a hair net-like piece, but the title has also been applied to the more modern scarf-like piece.
Another (more popular) name for the snood is infinity scarf. I’ve found that infinity scarves are usually very long, though, whereas snoods are shorter and wider/chunkier. Depending on the size, a snood could also be referred to as a basic neck warmer.
how do I wear a snood?
There are two options for wearing a snood. First is the basic form, where you simply plop the snood over your head. This is a great option for those of you who aren’t incredibly skilled at scarf-draping. Or just lazy 
Depending on the width of the snood, you can also bring the back end over your head, thus creating the “hood” look.
(To ensure that you don’t resemble a 90-year-old peasant woman, I’d suggest making sure that the rest of your outfit is on the chic side.)
where can I find a snood?
I found mine at New York and Company. The knit design (seen below in grey) came in a few different colors. They’re actually on sale right now on the store’s website, if you’re interested!
The faux fur neck warmer styles (seen below in brown and black), came in grey as well.
I’ve also seen snoods at Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, and on various online stores like Amazon.com.
Do you like the snood / infinity scarf / neck warmer look??
Thank goodness you are around to show us all these trends!! I would be lost without you! I had never heard of these things until I read this post. haha
I’m not quite sure if I could pull the snood off. Im probably that person who may look more like a peasant woman than a runway model. But Gracie, you can rock it!
Love ‘em! I’m a HUGE scarf fan…I have about 30 so these will make great additions
i’m a new reader, and i don’t know what i think of snoods yet, but you make them look adorable!!
xo.
love your blog, btw! can’t wait to read more
Thanks so much Sami!! xoxo
I have to say that the first thing I thought of was that computer game that was popular in the late 90s- where you lined up Snoods and then shot them down. Just me? Okay. I’m weird. We already knew that.
I did, too! Then I thought, wait, is it pronounced SNOOOOOD or Snod (like rhymes with hood.) I am so confused. And fashion challenged.
Also, I rocked at Snood.
Well it looks totally cute on you!
I don’t have one, but I may just have to scope out the snood next time I’m shopping =)
finally! someone who can explain how to use the darn thing! i love the look, but I had absolutely NO idea how to sport it
I love them! BUT i had no idea how to wear them. I bought one a while back but I’m finding it looks kind of… akward.
I LOVE that look.
Unfortunately, it’s too freakin’ warm where I live to wear it regularly … I can always dream!
Love the fur one!
Perhaps I’ll buy it and wear it when NOT in south Texas …
Cheers!

i have an infinity scarf and LOVE it. i can make it pretty tight around my head if need be.
it’s super cozy, convenient, and attractive i think.
when i was little-like 9 or 10, i would use my regular scarf to make a type of snood/infinity scarf. i would just put the middle over top of my head, drape it down and the cross the ends over the front of my neck and tie in back.
i looove snoods! Will have to get one in the sale before it gets warm again!!
I LOVE snoods and scraves - scarves more, but I feel like I could really get into snoods
Cute name, too, haha.
Love the infinity scarf (my preferred name for it)! I just wore one the other day!
hehe yes, infinity scarf does sound much more stylish, doesn’t it?
Yay! Trendy Tuesday is back!
I’ve never heard of snoods before, I’d be lost without your style advice! LOL
I have never heard of the snood, but I do love them, and you look super cute in it too (:
I adore infinity scarves!
Oh, cute! You rock it very nicely, I don’t think I could pull off a snood!
“To ensure that you don’t resemble a 90-year-old peasant woman, I’d suggest making sure that the rest of your outfit is on the chic side”…made me laugh out loud in the office. Funny comment!
I have a snood, didn’t even know that’s the name it. I got it at a sample sale and thought “Hmm, this is functional”. I’m always cold anyways.
I’m more of a scarf girl myself. Then I can drape it over my shoulders if temperatures drop to subarctic levels. You do make snoods look cute though.
Ha! I got a lime green one for Christmas and I just called it a “circle scarf!” Duh! Thanks for clearing that up for me;)
Circle Scarf works too!
I have a bit of a scarf obsession, my favorite being the one I randomly purchased from GAP like, 3 years ago. I don’t own a snood or infinity scarf right now, but I think that’s going to change very soon! I saw some at Marshalls the other day but was hesitant to get one, and now I feel like I need one?
I would want that snood wrapped tightly around my head to stay nice and warmmm!
Why have I never seen these before? Clearly, Im just really, really uncool.
Snoods are super cute! I need to get one! I saw some at urban outfitters, they had a purple glitter one, I should of got it, but spent all my dollars at lululemon instead, lol!
Is that really what they’re called? We’ve been calling them (my girlfriends and I) infinity scarves! Just cause ya wind ‘em up like the infinity symbol. Lol!
Honestly, I’ve heard them called infinity scarves more than snoods too!! I heard them called snoods about a year ago, so I’ve always just stuck with that
And I feel like infinity scarves are way longer than snoods!
My sister in law just got me one and I love it!!
I love snoods! I haven’t bught one for myself yet, but I plan to!
So cute! I love your idea of Trends Tuesday, I want to incorporate more fashion in my blog too
You’re SO PRETTY! Seriously. And I want a snood, but I plan on calling it an infinity scarf so I can justify wearing it while I teach math….not joking. I have legitimately been thinking that for the past few weeks.
Love it! I actually knit myself one to wear this year. It is so warm and cozy
Ohhh, I love these! I got mine this year at Anne Taylor Loft, and I wear it all the time! I just wear it around my neck, not as a hood, but it looks really cute on you like that:)
i’ve not seen these, they are interesting
I don’t have a snood, but I LOVE my infinity scarf! I love how it never unwraps from my neck, like my other scarves do. Plus there’s no chance of it falling off and losing it.
I have yet to rock a snood. But I should! In fact, perhaps today during I will purchase one. It is my half day after all, and I have 2 gift cards to Target!!
I just got a snood for Christmas! Thanks for the tips.
I love a good scarf so I would definitely be into a snood. I agree though, the name is lame!
Never heard of a snood before but they are super cute on you!
Cute! I would wear it.
