The Geek Chic Cowl Is a stylish, professional, must have winter accesory, that not only looks chic but totally gives the sexy librarian vibe. It is a collared Cowl that is so versatile that it goes with any outfit. The design concept began with trying to elevate the regualr cowls with a touch of elegance. Thus began the thought process to combine collar with cowl. The design integrates a winged collar with a turtle neck, the end result giving a refined appearance.
