Practical sophistication - this is how one can characterize a headdress that has been popular recently with fashionistas. We are talking about a hat-pipe, which looks amazing due to its unusual shape and cozy knitted texture.
What?
A cap-pipe (it is also called a collar or snood) is a scarf sewn in the form of a ring, usually up to one and a half meters long and 25-30 cm wide. It is worn on the head and shoulders, transforming into a cap if necessary, and does not require tying.
This thing appeared at the beginning of the 20th century and subsequently repeatedly returned to fashion catwalks. To date, her design has changed a little, but the model only benefited from this, and women fell in love with her even more.
This popularity is explained by the fact that this headpiece can be used both as a hat and as a scarf. A stylish scarf (which, by the way, you can wear in different ways) with one movement turns into a hat.
Snud perfectly warms and protects from the wind. It is combined with different-style clothes: from a feminine dress to a tracksuit. In addition, the hat-clip is suitable for women of any age.
Models
The cap-hat is represented today by a variety of models. Dynamic girls will like the sporty option with the absence of decorative elements. Such a headpiece is made of dense, fine viscous (elastic, hosiery or shawl surface), it differs in traditional colors (black, blue, red).
The openwork snood of fine yarn looks charming, which looks most harmoniously with knitwear, creating a romantic image. The cap with exquisite embroidery does not allow carelessness in the hair - requires neatly collected hair from the back.
If you prefer bright, noticeable things, then your option is a hat-clip, generously decorated with beads, sequins or fringe.
An expensive mink model is suitable for elegant ladies, acting as an alternative to the usual fur hat.
If you love knitwear, especially handmade, you will be delighted with a large knit thick thick yarn. However, it should be borne in mind that only a woman with large facial features can afford large and rough knitting. Thin graceful features in such a model are simply lost, so it is preferable for such women to choose a sophisticated openwork model or a dense non-necklace knitted fabric.
Caps-tubes with their standard sizes can sometimes be long - to cover the shoulders or, conversely, shortened - to cover only the head. Wide options look stylish, especially if they are worn deliberately carelessly.
Cozy and multifunctional snoods managed to gain popularity among teenage girls. After all, it can sometimes be so difficult for mothers to persuade them to wear a hat. And then they go to the trick, offering their daughter such an option - there seems to be no hat, and at the same time, the girl is protected from the cold. In addition, the hat-pipe always beautifully frames the young face. It should be noted that adolescent models are usually shorter than adults (about a meter long).
Snuds find their fans among older women. Such a hat is able to refresh the image, give shine to the eyes. Properly selected color will give your skin a more youthful look. For example, a dark shade of burgundy will create the appearance of a blush, and blue will emphasize the noble pallor.
In addition, if a woman aged has thin or thinning hair, then here again the hat-tube will help out. Draped over like a hood, it will create the illusion of thick hair if you fluff your hair in front.
Patterns
Knitted snoods can be made in various patterns. Elegant simplicity is distinguished by a model connected by a regular elastic band (alternating front and back loops).
Instead of a seam, such a product can be connected with a zipper or buttons. A more comfortable English gum will create a cozy and homely look. The only such option would be inappropriate for a business image.
The fluffy thread cap (for example, mohair) is usually made using a simple technique (hosiery or headscarf). Such models even without intricate patterns look luxurious.
The small pearl pattern looks interesting, simple and at the same time intricate - similar to a scattering of jewelry.
Volumetric braids, rhombuses with their intricate weave always look charming on a knitted fabric. Associated with hand-knitted, they are always original.
Note that not so long ago, fashionable Scandinavian motifs in the current season fade into the background (perhaps still appropriate for a ski trip). Scottish cage and geometric pattern (knitted or embroidered) are in fashion.
Material
The trumpet cap can be designed for different seasons. This determines the choice of material from which it is made. For winter frost, village wool, angora, mohair are perfect. More luxurious models are made of expensive cashmere or knitted fur.
Spring-autumn snuds are hats made of thin plastic materials. These are specially processed cotton, viscose and fine wool.
In addition, materials of different textures can be combined, for example, caps-clamps decorated with pieces of fur look original.
Color
The choice of color of a fashionable hat-pipe is an important moment. Sports models are most often made in characteristic shades - black, red, blue. An elegant image creates a snow-white snud.
Different shades of gray always look stylish. Today, powdery and ashy shades are also fashionable, moreover, they can be interestingly combined in things with a print. In general, the trend is strict pastel colors.
If you plan to combine a hat with discreet things, then choose a rich color: orange, wine, purple, bright shades of pink. Extraordinary girls can pay attention to mint and lemon tones.
As for the universal black color, then, according to the latest fashion trends, it should be abandoned. It is better to choose a cap-hat of dark brown or gray color.
How to wear?
The method of wearing a volumetric cap-collar is selected depending on the model and on what clothes it is combined with.
In early autumn or at work, a snood can simply wrap your shoulders, for example, over a knitted tunic dress or turtleneck - it will warm you up, playing the role of the original wrap. As a business image, the collar is best complemented with classic trousers with arrows and stilettos.
Mink snood is combined with almost any outerwear. He perfectly complements a short leather jacket. Also, a fur hat-collar harmoniously looks with a classic coat, parka and down jacket. To complete the ensemble, add additional fur elements (lyo shoes, mittens trimmed with fur).
Young girls may well combine a hat-collar with warm short shorts, worn in tight tights and high boots with heels. As an option - a mini dress.
It should be borne in mind that things of the same texture are ideally combined with each other, for example, knitted snood and knitted leggings or gloves. Leather accessories also fit well with a large knit cap.
Beautiful images
A charming knitted hat-hat in a pleasant light brown hue. The luxury of the model is given by a pattern of intricately intertwined braids, which looks most advantageously on a light canvas made of smooth threads. In a pair of snoods, mittens of the same color, material and knitting were selected. This set creates an incredibly cozy attractive look, from which it blows warm. The collar beautifully frames the regular features of the girl's face. Parting on the hair supports the romantic orientation of the image. A gray turtleneck does not violate the overall pastel scale of the ensemble (the makeup of the girl is also very restrained).
Another knitted version of snud, suitable for a young dynamic girl. A headpiece made of dense shawl knitted from thick yarn is completely devoid of any decorative elements. Complemented with a short leather jacket and sweater in black and white stripes, it gravitates more to a sporty style. A pipe cap is thrown over his head deliberately carelessly, covering only the back of his head.
Original hat-tube of a lovely cornflower blue color. The bottom of the model is crocheted in the form of an intricate flounce of cloves. The product is also decorated with applicative details - flowers, also crocheted from similar yarn. The mittens, which perfectly complement the snood, have the same decor, in addition, they are fastened with bright buttons. The white color of the turtleneck perfectly sets off the blue tint of the knitted set, which is so with the fair-haired beauty.
Bright red snood is an ideal addition to a black classic coat, especially if its owner is a brunette. The item is made by a popular pearl pattern, similar to many scattered beads. The scarf-collar beautifully frames the neck, acting as a spectacular autumn accessory.
A crocheted cap made of thin cotton-based yarn proves once again that this headpiece is suitable for ladies of all ages. The white color of the model refreshes the woman's face and harmonizes with the makeup of her eyes. Romantic lace trim of the bottom of the collar in combination with an applicative knitted flower makes the image more feminine.
