Cowls vs. Snugs: Which Winter Accessory is Right for You?
Both are cozy, winter accessories that can help you stay warm and stylish. But what’s the difference between the two? And which one is right for you?
Cowls are typically wider and looser than snugs, and they often have a more open-ended design. This makes them ideal for wearing over your head and shoulders, or for layering with other clothing. Cowls can be made from a variety of materials, including yarn, wool, and fleece.
Snugs, on the other hand, are typically narrower and tighter-fitting than cowls. They often have a more seamless design, and they may even have a button or clasp closure. Snugs are typically made from stretchy materials, such as knitwear or fleece.
So, which type of accessory is right for you? It depends on what you’re looking for! If you’re looking for something warm and cozy to wear over your head and shoulders, a cowl is a great option. If you’re looking for something more streamlined and fitted, a snug is a good choice.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet to help you decide:
- Cowls:
- Wider and looser fit
- Open-ended design
- Can be worn over your head and shoulders or layered with other clothing
- Made from a variety of materials, including yarn, wool, and fleece
- Snugs:
- Narrower and tighter-fitting
- Seamless design
- May have a button or clasp closure
- Made from stretchy materials, such as knitwear or fleece
Ultimately, the best way to decide which type of accessory is right for you is to try on both cowls and snugs and see which one you prefer. But no matter which one you choose, you’re sure to stay warm and stylish all winter long!
So, which are you going to make first? A cozy cowl or a sleek snug? Let me know in the comments below!
