The Versatility Of The Purple Turban

By Nita McKinney





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.



Turbans are among the most easily adaptable styles of head covering around. The description covers a large variety of designs with multiple variations of each. Though once associated exclusively with some cultures and religious groups of the Eastern world, it has now become a popular fashion choice.



By traditional definition, a turban is a cap that is formed by wrapping a long length of cloth around the head multiple times, covering all of one's hair. In modern times, this is a term that is used to describe just about any headgear that holds a loose resemblance to the original design. Though many are still made by hand, using scarves, others may be purchased already formed as hats.



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.



Those who enjoy being able to design their own head coverings have lots of options with scarf tying. Any who prefer to purchase ready made caps are graced with still more alternative styles. A purple turban can serve as a practical covering to keep one's head warm or as an elegant topping to the perfect outfit.
