Knitted hoods are the accessory trend of the season
Knitted hoods – aka balaclavas, bonnets and snoods – are the must-have accessory this season. Popular with the style set, these cosy layers aren't a new trend – they've featured in the winter wardrobes of all our favourite fashion girls for the past few years – making them a worthy investment if you haven't already got one.
Knitted hoods first caught our attention back in autumn/winter 2021, when they peppered the runways of Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs and Givenchy. The high street quickly followed suit with their take on the cool-girl snood, and for the past few seasons we've been treated to new iterations from luxury labels and affordable brands alike. This year is no exception, and it's safe to say the knitted hood remains firmly on the fashion agenda.
Still not convinced? Trust us: a knitted hood is a stylish yet practical addition to your wardrobe, keeping our ears warm on those particularly chilly days. It's a versatile piece that can instantly elevate any look, ticking multiple boxes at once.
Taking styling inspiration from our favourite fashion creators, we think a a knitted hood looks particularly chic paired with an oversized winter coat or cosy knitwear. Ours has become a handbag essential, alongside our keys and makeup touch-ups, so we're never caught out in the cold.
Ready to elevate your winter outerwear? Invest in one of our favourite knitted hoods and you soon won't remember how you lived without it. Whether you go for a classic neutral or opt for a pop of colour (we love bright red – the colour of the moment), this will be the best wardrobe addition you make this year.
