A snood is a versatile tubular accessory, typically made from soft, knitted, or woven fabric. It can be worn around the neck like a scarf to provide warmth or styled to cover the head like a hood, offering extra protection against the cold.

Unlike traditional scarves, a snood is a continuous loop with no loose ends, making it easy to slip on and adjust for comfort. Snoods come in various materials such as wool, fleece, or lightweight jersey, and can range from chunky knit styles to sleek, minimalist designs.

 They are both practical and stylish, often used as a cosy winter essential or a fashionable layering piece.
