With -10 temperatures, frost, freezing fog, sleet, snow and ice set to continue into mid January, the snood could very well be the best investment you make in 2010!
The scarf/hat merger has translated well from the catwalk onto the high street and must-have versions are popping up all over Topshop, Penneys and H & M.
So how do you wear the snood?
The beauty of this posh hoody is that it can be worn either as a full and chunky scarf or nonchalantly pulled halfway over the head in the style of a loose veil. Complete the ice queen look with extra-long gloves or arm-warmers in soft lambswool, angora or patterned knits.
