Snoods + Balabonnets

Snoods & Bonnet Hats for Cold Weather

Snoods and bonnet hats combine the warmth of a scarf and a hat into one easy piece, which makes them a fast grab on the coldest mornings. Our wider balaclava and bonnet edit expands on the shape with a few more knit options, and classic beanies round things out if you want a simpler silhouette. Add a cold weather scarf if you need more coverage around the neck on the coldest days. Pull one on over a puffer coat and skip layering a separate scarf underneath. Shop the edit before temperatures drop further.

Frequently Asked Questions on Snoods & Bonnet Hats

What is the difference between a snood and a bonnet hat?

A snood is a tube-shaped knit accessory that covers the neck and can often be pulled up over the head, while a bonnet hat is shaped more like a fitted, close hat with a bit of extra coverage at the back. Both are built for warmth in place of separate scarf and hat pieces.

Can a snood be worn instead of a scarf?

Yes, a snood works as a direct scarf replacement since it wraps the neck without loose ends to tuck or tie. Many people prefer it under a coat since it stays in place better than a traditional scarf.

Are bonnet hats warm enough for winter?

A knit bonnet hat made from wool or a wool blend is warm enough for most winter days, especially when paired with a coat that has its own collar. For extreme cold, pair it with a scarf for extra coverage.

How do I style a snood or bonnet hat?

Both pair easily with a puffer coat, wool coat or heavier knitwear, and work well with gloves and boots to complete a cold-weather look. Stick to neutral tones if you want the rest of your outfit to stand out.
