Ok, Gentlemen...whats a snood ? Heres your fashion lesson for today. A snood (rhymes with food) is historically a type of European female headgear, or in modern times a tubular neck scarf. In the most common form the headgear resembles a close-fitting hood worn over the back of the head. A tighter-mesh band may cover the forehead or crown, then run behind the ears and under the nape of the neck. Snoods became popular again in Europe during World War II. At that time, the British government had placed strict rations on the amount of material that could be used in clothing. While headgear was not rationed, snoods were favored, along with turbans and headscarves, in order to show ones commitment to the war effort. Also good for keeping your hair out of the way of equipment while working in the factory during war time!
