Fashion Turban Designs For All

By Cathy Mercer


Hats and other head coverings have been used throughout the course of time for many different reasons. Some are worn for religious purposes, others for status, tradition, protection, practicality and of course, style. Women in many different cultures have began to see the beauty in fashion turban choices when looking for a headdress that is attractive and functional.

Most women choose their head covering to either serve a specific purpose or to accentuate a particular outfit. Since they can be made from a wide variety of fabrics and in many different designs, turbans are often a top choice. A big part of their appeal lies in their flexibility in look and practicality.

There are quite a few different fashionable ways one can use a scarf to make the various styles of wrap. Most techniques begin with an extra long rectangular, triangular or squared scarf. The fabric is completely up to the user, through light, soft materials such as silk, linen, nylon and cotton are both comfortable and easy to work with.

With a designated series of structured twists, folds and knots, one can wrap their head in hundreds of different ways. One simple type of turban may be formed by folding a scarf into the shape of a triangle and place it over the skullcap with the center of the flat side place against the forehead. Take the two points that are extended to the side and twist them into ropes then tie them behind the neck, tucking the loose point under the knot as one would a bandanna.

When folded into a long rectangle of approximately three inches wide, there are several options to be had. A more updated version of the traditional style turban can be achieved through a few well placed wraps, knots, twists, tucks and stretches. A couple of windings in opposite directions can provide a rather unique type of headband.

All the various twists, folds, wraps and knots are not something everyone wishes, or is able, to do on their own. Those folks need not worry because designers have found a way to create hats that look as though someone has spent quite a bit of time elaborately folding. The caps are generally a little stretchable and can easily be fitted over anyone's head in a form fitting way.

The caps come in many different styles as well to fit pretty much any need or desire one may have for this type of covering. They can be made to look exactly like a tightly wrapped scarf, only they will be stretchy so that they can be fitted over one's head quickly and easily. Designs vary greatly, making it possible to find one to please even the pickiest fashionista.

Regardless of whether one prefers to do the wrapping themselves or to purchase a designer made cap, there are many fashion turban options to consider. Finding a fabric and pattern that suits one's personal preference is a good place to begin when deciding what style to wear. The headdresses may be further personalized through the addition of embellishments like rosettes, bows, jewels and ribbons.
