Turban: what is it and how to wear?

Among all the hats, those that are part of some kind of national costume stand out. Turban just belongs to the list of such.

A turban is a headdress made of a very long piece of squared fabric. In order to get a turban, this piece of matter must be very tightly and consistently wrapped around the head. The turban has an indirect lower edge, which distinguishes it from a turban. But this is not the only difference.

Both women and men can wear a turban. In addition, it is much larger in size than a turban. So, for the manufacture of some of them will require more than 20 meters of fabric, while for a turban only 3-4 m of material will be enough. In addition, only the most expensive raw materials, such as velvet or brocade, are used to create a turban, and pearls and brooches are used to decorate it.

Turban is traditionally a men's headdress. He is popular among Indian, Arabian, Asian, African men. However, over time, women began to wear it. Turban perfectly complements many images, so it can be worn not only by those who profess Islam.

Modern women are different from their predecessors. They do not want to waste their time on a long wrapping of matter around the head. Therefore, fashion designers came up with a turban hat for them. With her form, she completely repeats the usual turban. but if necessary, it can be easily removed or put on quickly.

Its varieties include bandage which repeats only the bottom of this headgear. Its main difference is that it does not completely cover the entire head. This bandage can be worn with any clothing.This can be the upper elements of the wardrobe, and elegant dress, and formal dress. With the help of a turban hat you can perfectly emphasize your sophistication.

The first mention of this headdress appeared in the 7th century. Muslims wore a turban because the prophet Muhammad bequeathed this. Looking at a person practicing Islam (by the way his turban looks like), it was already possible to determine his status, because the more she is, the more money the man who wears it has. Another interesting fact: in some cases, when a person was dying, a turban was used to wrap the body of the deceased with it.

Many believe that Indians should wear a turban. However, this judgment is completely false. In India, as in other countries, it was worn and not all are worn. First of all, these are really Muslims. Moreover, they should have belonged only to the upper class. Also, the man should have a mustache, a beard, as well as long hair.

The role and color of this headgear played. White turban intended only for members of the namdhari caste. Pink hats put on only for the wedding. Turban black color worn only by Indian warriors. Multi-colored headdress intended for daily use.

The largest turban in the 15th century could be worn only by the sultan. Her height was equal to 70–80 centimeters. If a man put on a turban, the height of which did not correspond to his status, then he was beaten with sticks.
