The Fashion Project

As I'm sure you could all tell from my previous review of the band snood, I'm a fan of the Maysaa products I've worn so far. And the chiffon snood is no exception. It's simple, elegant, and easy to wear. I like a bit of a rock/punk look, so this item works really well for me because it can blend in with those types of outfits, or it can become the statement piece of the look.

Review Points:

+As with the band snood, the neck material is soft and breathable. I barely notice I'm wearing it.
+ Absolutely no styling necessary. Put it on, zip it up, you're ready to go out!
+The neck piece fits under the collar of a shirt, and the chiffon piece goes down lower to expose the neck, so the black doesn't swallow up the face as happens with black al-amiras.
+The chiffon is soft and pliable, so you can pin it up on the side or back of the head (as I've done in the pictures below), instead of always wearing it loose.

-The chiffon piece sticks out a little on the sides, so I find I need to pin the edge down just below each ear, otherwise I look like I'm wearing earmuffs.
-The hanging down look is cool, but sometimes annoying if you need to bend down a lot, such as when at work or shopping.
-As with the band snood, I have to wear a bonnet cap under it to prevent the hair on my neck from peeking out the sides. This could just be my hair, but I think the soft, slippery material is partly to blame.



I wear my glasses outside the band, because otherwise it's quite tight around the face. Fortunately, the chiffon part of the snood stops just above the ear, so there is space for the arm of the glasses to go. I pin down the edge just under my ear, and that creates a nice little pocket. Up close, you can see that even pinned up to the side, sometimes the neck piece is still visible, which I like. It makes it look less bulky. Also, the cap part of the snood is strong enough to hold up the chiffon piece with a decorative pin!
