First popular in the 1800s, the snood was brought out again by designer Elsa Schiaparelli in 1935. It also gained popularity when worn in the 1939 hit Gone With the Wind, an epic film that was set during the American Civil War and starred Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.

A snood could almost be described as a hairnet, but it did not go around the entire head. It usually only covered the hair at the back of the head. It was often knitted or crocheted. Sewn into a bag-like shape, it surrounded the hair and was attached at the top. The snood kept hair free from machinery when women worked in factories. It also was a useful accessory for bad-hair days.
