Can the Snood Save Christmas?

[Smuterella]

the word snood was definitely used to mean those things over here in the 80's.

Sorry...all other things aside...if they name it a snarf...they are in deep deep trouble.


Snarf: when one is eating and is provoked by something funny which causes them to laugh and expel said food out of nasal passages; may also come out of mouth. also applies to liquids.

/\ lol lol

Methinks the author of this article has been misinformed.

If I could get over the fact that I wore a *real* snood back in 1992, I could probably wear one today. But these things? Seems like they'd slip right off your head and leave your hair looking all messy. (Snarf hair?)
They could be cute if done in a Gene Tierney-in-Sundown (aka Fake 1940s Arabian) way, but *comfortable* is not the word I'd use.

Methinks the author of this article thought a Snood was a Dr. Seuss character. [huh]

The Muslim ladies here wear something similar, but more nicely fitted.

The Muslim ladies around here wear something similar, but more fitted, and I believe more stylish.

This is the Snarf I know.

I use snarf to describe when a dog tries to lick your hand, but snorts at the same time - It's an onomatopoeia lol

Vintage terms and names are hilariously misinterpreted today. Those "snoods" are a case in point.
Type "vintage fashion" into Google Image Search and you will get this:

Hey the 80s are almost 30 years old now. Its vintage.

I think their going for something more like this.
Or perhaps this (found searching for the word 'snood').
Wow this pattern actually had a snood pattern inside it (the snoods *we* know)!

OT: Ooh I like that red floral dress in the middle.....

The pics start out ok, but then the veer off into these strange scarf like things. Those are nothing like snoods. Cowl or scarf is a much better word for those monstrosities.

I suppose so, eh?

I quite like the scarf things in that pattern! I wouldn't call them snoods though.

I think the boots have some possibilities just not with that outfit.

Now back to snoods or mock snoods that is...in 2004(during the time of the broach debaucle) the infamous "they" came out with a hooded tunnel type of scarf already but at least it was not called a snood. I don't know if anyone remembers this but they sold them in a variety of different colors, they were soft and fuzzy? It was reported that this one scarf could be worn about 7 different ways and one of them was over the head.

This holiday season, retailers are betting big on the snood, a cross between a scarf and a hood that, when worn over the head, is reminiscent of a babushka.

The trend emerged on the Fall 2009 runways of designers like Missoni (knit snoods) and Burberry (plaid snoods) and also made an appearance in the commercial collections of Donna Karan and Yves Saint Laurent. Now it's gone mainstream, with retailers ranging from American Apparel to Zara getting behind the loopy style with snoods of varying lengths and monikers. The British version of GQ magazine's Web site recently posted a "Guide to Snoods," suggesting wearers try it "over a chunky knit or tailored jacket."

Well, 90s vintage themed parties are apparently already a rage with teenagers. I thought something had to be at least 25 years old to be vintage.

I have a sudden urge to pull on fingerless, lace gloves and download Thompson Twins songs!

 

[VintageVixie]

At least this is the kind of thing that won't last long. If it sells, everyone will buy and wear them for a season or two, and then no one will wear them. Like ponchos were a few years ago, just a trend for those who only know how to follow what 'fashion' tells them to.

Boy does that make me feel old. I grew up in the 90's...

Teenagers today are born in the 90's anyway! How does that work?

How does that work? There was no 'theme' in the 90s. It was the first decade without its own style lol

I was thinking the same thing. I was a teen in the 90's and remember nothing but a hodge podge of whatever people seemed to throw together with an emphasis on flannel shirts and holey jeans...
