History records the use of many different types of fashionable head coverings. This accessory has often been referred to as the piece that can make or break the success of an outfit. One may think a pastel sunhat or yellow pillbox cap to be the right choice, but a purple turban can be worn in several different ways for more versatile looks.
One of the most versatile types of head covering is the turban. This is because the term loosely encompasses a wide range of designs and there are hundreds of different variations of these styles. The most commonly recognized versions are the ones worn by certain religious groups and several cultures throughout the Middle East, India, Asia and Africa.
The official definition is a head covering formed by taking a long length of fabric and winding it around the skull in a snug fashion that encompasses all on one's hair. By modern fashion standards, this term now means anything that has a general resemblance. Though some designs require one to wrap the scarf themselves, others can be purchased fabricated as a hat.
Most caps of this type are made to look like a wrapped headpiece but can vary in the type of fabric used and the embellishments that are added. Some designs are intended to serve functional purposes and others are meant to be worn in public and displayed as beautiful accessories. One popular version used for practical reasons is the terry cloth style that fits like a wrapped towel and dries hair quickly and without rubbing.
The first step to creating a personalized look is finding a scarf that is fairly long and in a color, print and fabric that pleases the wearer. When folded into a long strip of about three inches in width, or be rolled to form a rope, the beginning of many styles is formed. For instance, a headband may be formed by placing the center in back of the head, bringing to the front and twisting the ends around each other and reversing to tie them in behind the neck.
Pleating the scarf will be the starting point to creating a design that gives the illusion of a complicated wrap. Starting behind the head, bring the ends to the front and tie them one time before returning to the nape and forming a formal knot and tucking the ends in the band. Complete the look by gently and loosely spreading the folds until the entire crown is covered, and use pins or clips to hold in place.
A triangular bandanna style scarf is another option with many variations. It seems simple but just by changing embellishments or tying the knot or bow in different locations such as the nape, forehead or side, the look can be quite drastically altered. The covering can be given a total personalization through the use of brooches, rhinestones, rosettes and other additions.
There are many more options available for those who like to style their own headpieces. Purchasing as a cap opens up an even wider variety of designs. Whether worn as a headband, bandanna or traditional purple turban, this type of covering is fashionable and versatile.
