Fashion Turban Designs For All

By Cathy Mercer


Throughout the course of human history, there have been many reasons for which people have chosen to wear hats and other types of head coverings. Some cultures use them for religious beliefs, others because of tradition, or status, protection and the ever popular, style. Women all over the world are now seeing the beauty in fashion turban designs and find them as attractive as they are functional.

When it comes to style choices, head coverings are chosen either to compliment an outfit or to serve a particular purpose. Turbans are a very versatile type of headdress and can be found made of many different materials and in varied designs. The flexibility in the ways they can be worn is a huge part of their appeal.

Wraps can be made in a myriad of fashionable ways. Most styles start with an over sized scarf that may be triangular, rectangular or squared, as long as it has enough length to go around the head at least twice. Though the fabric choice is entirely personal to the wearer, lightweight ones such as cotton, nylon, linen and silk are recommended because they are easy to use and comfortable to wear.

Through the use of specific folds, twists and knots, there are literally hundreds of different stylish ways to wrap one's head. One of the simplest forms of turban is to make the scarf into a triangle and begin by placing the center of the flat side just above one's eyebrows with the point going over towards the back. Twist the two extended ends into ropes and tie them in the rear with the loose tip tucked under the knot in a classic bandanna style.

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 intricate finger work that is required to make the traditional styles of turbans may not be easy for some people to do. Those who prefer, have the option of buying caps that are sewn to look like the complicated folding styles formally used. These ready made caps are designed to stretch easily over the wearer's head and fit as snugly as if professionally wound.

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's preferences run towards the simpleness of the cap or the authenticity of the wrap, with so many fashion turban designs available, the choices are infinite. Because scarves come in so many amazing patterns, the beauty of the product is open to anything one finds attractive. Wearers are further able to personalize their creations by adding their favorite embellishments.
