Micro trend alert – first snoods, now elbow length gloves. This seasons love affair with the eighties keeps going strong. These fingerless, elbow length gloves from Oasis invoke just the right amount of eighties nostalgia and are a quick and easy way to update your winter wardrobe. Who doesn’t need a flash of acid bright colour when the weather is as miserable as it has been over the last few days???

So imagine my elation at seeing the return of the snood on the catwalks this Autumn, featuring in fashion shows from Missoni to Burberry. They’re likely to be a big trend, not only because these designers are forcing them down our necks, but because they’re easy-to-wear and extremely practical – short of wearing a balaclava, how else would you keep your head quite so warm?

Wear the snood day or night, as it works equally well with an evening dress as it does with casual clothing. Just keep the colour toned down. This sequinned snood from Wallis is gorgeous and perfect for embracing your inner Grace Jones.
