Turban hat

An original headpiece is often the dominant feature of a stylish wardrobe. An elegant and feminine turban hat, which has been popular with fashionistas for more than one season, will wonderfully cope with this role.

Turban is a traditional headdress for men of many eastern countries.

Each nationality is characterized by a specific color scheme, size and material of a turban, and the options for tying it differ. Even within one country, this headgear is not the same - denotes the social affiliation of a person. Thus, Muslims traditionally put on a white turban, but those who have visited Mecca at least once or belong to the family of the great prophet have the right to tie a green or black headdress.

Researchers of oriental life and culture have found that there are at least a thousand options for wearing a turban. It is interesting that in the Middle Ages it was customary to hide a tulip in its folds - a flower, according to legend, bringing good luck.

Of course, over many centuries, some types of oriental costume have lost their former relevance. So, today a turban perfectly complements a formal business suit - Arab political leaders wear it during foreign trips, as well as meetings within their own country.

Often this headdress is mistakenly identified with a turban. However, in the turban, unlike him, the lower edge is not straight. And besides, it is much smaller.

From the East, this accessory came into European fashion. Throughout the 20th century, he appeared and disappeared from a stylish wardrobe. For example, post-war women began to wear a turban, wanting to dilute their lives with an element of luxury.

In recent years, this accessory is back in fashion and is not going to give up its leadership position. And for the convenience of fashionistas, a hat was invented that outwardly copies the shape of the turban - there is no need to waste time tying it. This hat is permissible to wear in all seasons, it is very popular even in warm weather.

Speaking about the features of this headgear, which distinguishes it from other options, we note a unique oriental style (after all, most modern hats are somewhat similar to each other). In addition, the turban has varieties: you can put a finished hat or bandage on your head, or you can effectively wind a long scarf or scarf.

EThis accessory is also advantageous in that it is appropriate with many types of outerwear. It is practical - it will hide an unsuccessful hairdo or lack of styling. A turban is suitable for women of all ages: it will adorn both a young girl and a respectable lady of elegant age.

Modern women's turban is made of fabric or yarn. As for fabric options, the favorites are models made from natural raw materials - cotton and knitwear. Soft and lightweight cotton patterns are ideal for summer and early fall, while knitted patterns are denser and warmer.

Any woman can make a turban from a cotton or knitted scarf. It is easier to do this from lightweight texture material. It is necessary to cover the head with a scarf, placing its ends at the back. The tips are tied into a knot, twisted separately and fixed in front of the forehead. It remains only to make out a beautiful knot, you can decorate it with a brooch or beads.

Knitted hats in the shape of a turban are distinguished by a variety of yarn. The most popular products from wool. Stylish and romantic looks from fluffy mohair. Often, woolen things will include acrylic additives, there are also completely synthetic options (polyester) that look, in principle, no less neat and beautiful. In addition, things with the addition of synthetics are unpretentious in care, more wearable.

As for the pattern of knitted hats in the form of a turban, the following techniques are popular: ordinary hosiery, pearl drawing (or “rice”), English, French, embossed elastic, 2x2 volume elastic. These hats are knitted with embossed braids, a three-dimensional braid. Exquisitely look elements of an openwork pattern.

Like any stylish accessory, the turban hat changes with each new season. These innovations relate to style, colors, material and decorative elements. This season the trend is strict forms - the turban is more miniature, has a minimal number of lines. Shawls fade into the background, giving way directly to hats and bandages.

In the fashion, saturated shades (for example, purple or fuchsia), you should choose the appropriate option based on your own color type. However, the timeless classics - black and white - are still in trend and will suit many fashionistas. Also, for an updated softer image, gray is ideal. A favorite wine shade (which suits almost everyone) is a favorite, it is beautiful in itself, as well as in combination with other tones. For many years now, the emerald has been popular. Various shades of pink, beige and peach color will also decorate knitted turban. The basic sand color is able to adapt to any women's wardrobe.

An important role in modern headdress is played by decor, it is especially relevant for an evening look. The classic decoration is a massive brooch, smooth or with a scattering of pebbles. Fashionable turban today is also decorated over the entire surface with sequins or beads. Mysteriousness and piquancy to the lady will add a mesh veil on the headdress - an excellent evening option. However, it should be borne in mind that when choosing a turban with decor, you do not need to wear other catchy decorations, since this is a self-sufficient detail that attracts attention.

Important tips:

1. Ladies with an oval-shaped face and a high forehead were most fortunate - they can choose any model as they wish. It is only necessary to avoid too high options that are able to visually lengthen the face.
2. If your face is elongated and narrow, an elongated style does not fit. Your goal is to visually align the proportions, so get a low turban, reaching to the eyebrows, with many horizontal lines.
3. Chubby young ladies, on the contrary, need to stretch an oval - an elongated model without an abundance of folds is suitable.
4. A soft draped fabric is able to distract attention from a square face; try a voluminous style without multiple decor.
5. A triangular face will brighten up almost any style of a turban. You can experiment with the decor: a large brooch will add fragility to the features, and a mesh veil will add mystery.
