White Turban Is Fashionable Choice

By Nita McKinney


To many women, a head covering is an important part of bringing an outfit together and completing the total package. Others wear them just because they like the way they look and still others will utilize them as a fashionable response to a medical condition. Though available in many colors, wearing a white turban makes a classic statement of fresh sophistication.

The turban used to be known as a type of headdress worn only by members of certain religious or cultural groups in some eastern civilizations. Today, however, the term refers to any type of brimless covering that fits snugly to the scalp. While it is still quite fashionable to physically twist and tie a long scarf to form a hat, it is possible that purchase one ready made that takes all the work out of the process.

The type of fabric chosen, as well as patterns, prints and embellishments are all going to affect the overall appearance of the design. Adding extras such as pins, gems, bows and rosettes can create a look that is perfect for practically any situation. It is a possible to come up with a unique creation that reflects the personality of the wearer.

Ranging from headbands to complicated hats, the last decade has seen turbans undergo a huge transformation. Women who are losing their hair due to conditions such as alopecia or chemotherapy often find these coverings to be beautiful and comfortable way to keep warm and look glamorous. When one is having a bad hair day or still has a bit of time to wait for the next root touch-up, this is a perfect solution to hide the problem.

They can be hand made from a long scarf of virtually any fabric, or they may be purchased already made. With some embellishments, they can be suitable for a formal party and without, they are great for working around the house. A terry cloth variation can be substituted for a towel so that hair can dry after a washing or a swim.

An easy and versatile way to wrap a scarf is the Hermes style. It begins by folding the cloth into a triangle and placing it over the head, wrapping the ends around and tying them into a knot over the open point. Though the design is simple, the look changes depending on whether or not the bow is placed in the front, back or on the side of the head.

There are hats that simply slip onto the head that are designed to perfectly mimic the complicated folding of traditional styles. For a completed look, one should tuck all hair carefully up under the band. For a totally different look, one may opt to leave some curls, long locks or even bangs peeking out from beneath the rim.

Whether opting to utilize a plain or printed scarf, or to sport a ready made cap, a white turban could be the perfect accessory to any outfit. With so many varied designs to choose from, it is possible to wear something different every day of the year. Make things even more personal by adding cute embellishments that add that perfect touch.
