10 Must-Have Winter Accessories

snood neck warmer winter trends 2011

Ring Around the Collar

This winter, skip the scarf. According to Rygorsky, “The new hot style this season is the chunky neck ring or neck warmer (also know as a cowl, a shrug, or a snood).” A neck ring is like your basic infinity scarf — a loop of fabric — except it is smaller and fits tightly against the neck. And if it sounds warm and effortless, it’s because … it is. “I love this trend because it’s throw-on-and-go, and looks great with or without a coat,” says Rygorsky.
