In this issue, we would like to introduce the origin of the snood, the background of its penetration as a fashion item, and examples of sophisticated ways of wearing it.

The origin of the snood “originated as a hair band worn by unmarried Scottish women as a sign of virginity!
Although it is relatively recent that snoods wrapped around the neck have burst onto the men’s fashion scene, they actually have a long history. Originally, it seems that the original snood was a bag-shaped net, potted ribbon, or hair band worn by unmarried women in Scotland as a sign of virginity, to keep their hair in place. Later, it was worn by more than just unmarried women and evolved into the custom of being wrapped around the neck, but from the beginning it was a highly decorative item that was intended to be seen rather than a thermal protection item. The snood, which was originally highly fashionable, was noticed and introduced by a European maison brand, which brought it back into the spotlight as a fashion item. In Japan, the snood became a very popular item in women’s fashion around 2010, and was introduced in fashion magazines one after another, and it continues to be popular today. Snoods are no exception to the trend from women’s fashion to men’s fashion, and their popularity began to grow in the Japanese men’s fashion scene around 2012, and they are now a staple item for winter.
How does the snood affect men’s dressing?
Snoods make you look more stylish.
Many snoods have a voluminous fabric that draws the eye upward, making the wearer look taller. In addition, snoods can make one’s face look relatively smaller by creating volume around the neck and by wrapping the snood around the chin in a way that partially hides the chin.
Snoods have few variations on how to wrap them, so don’t get lost!
The snood comes in the form of a loop, and is basically an easy-to-wear item that can be hung from the neck as it is. There are variations such as twisting the snood to make a loop and wrapping it in two or three layers, but there is no need to worry about getting lost in all the different ways to wrap it like a scarf! There is no need to worry about getting lost in all the different ways to wrap a snood like you would with a scarf.
Snoods give men’s outfits a trendy look!
Snoods have only been around for a short time since they first penetrated men’s fashion, and the curved lines of the looped shape give a neutral and feminine impression in a good sense. It will be one of the items that will fit right in with the ” genderless (unisex) ” trend that is trending this season. Also, as mentioned above, the fact that it can be worn simply by hanging it from the neck, without the need for any effort, is also considered to be in line with the ” effortless ” trend.
Is it safe to avoid wearing a snood with a suit style for a formal office?
It seems a little early to match snoods, which have only been in men’s fashion for a short period of time, with business suits, which are considered to be the ” classic style. In particular, it is best to refrain from using snoods made of low-gauge roughly knitted fabrics, as they give a casual appearance that is incompatible with the suit style. It may be possible to wrap a snood made of felt or cashmere material with little volume, but if it is intended for business use, it is best to avoid it. At Pitti Uomo, which is a reference point for the latest business styles, snoods are rarely seen, but they are still very limited.
