Tips and Tricks for Rocking a TurbanTie it right. Learning to tie the turban correctly may take some time, but it’s worth the effort to look finished and pulled together. Check out one of the links in the Extra Credit Reading section to try it yourself.Try a hybrid. If you don’t like the look of a full turban (like Sarah Jessica Parker’s,Wholesale Los Angeles Angels Hats, below) try a headband/turban mix, often referred to as a turband. Ashley Olsen sports a faux leather one above. Pictured below (right),cheap mulberry bags, from The Sartorialist: a turband with a bow.
“I had to use my webcam so my whole outfit isn’t shown but I chose a patterned scarf that had some gold detail. The outfit I wore it with that day was a lose, swinging, dark tank with light washed skinnies, and a pair of TOMS shoes.”
A turban might not be the first hair accessory you think of when your outfit is in need of something extra, but why not? I’ve spotted turbans on street style blogs galore lately, and several designers sent turbans down their runways for spring and fall. Need another reason to try a turban? How about the fact that you can make one out of a scarf that you already own? A turban is versatile, fun, and bold: The perfect item for this week’s Fashion Challenge.
