which do you prefer? and why?

Snoods, not sure why. More updated than scarfs.

I don't wear either, but you're probably best going with a snoop, they are a lot safer than scarf's. A scarf could get caught in something.

For a guy at least, definitely a scarf as you can "style" them more and they have that timeless look to them.

I like both. Snoods are lovely for blocking out draughts from your neck. I feel the cold so sometimes wear them indoors - they're neater than scarves. I suppose I prefer snoods really, but I have some nice scarves and like to get some wear out of them.
