I’d never thought I’d see this, again: separate hoods are the latest trend in headwear. Most fashion collection of fall 2007 had at least one chic hood cap up there, on the runway.

Hoods: Hoods Hoods Hoods

There are at least three different styles of hoods: big, furry lion look and then there are big knits and Russian styles. Finally there are medieval touches: tight or loose hoods made of thinner fabrics. You can wear your hood with almost everything: over a winter coat, a tweed cape, a sweater dress or a trench and even over an elegant skirt suit.
