Flamingoes are underrated animals and often suffer from being depicted only in pink. Get rid of your color related animal stereotypes and brave the first chilly winds with a flock of fair isle flamingoes warming your neck. The cowl comes in two sizes, the smaller one will give you a snug fit, whereas size M will allow you to line your cowl with fleece or wear a silky scarf underneath.
