People have been wearing turbans for centuries. It is compulsory for men in the Sikh religion and a common head covering in the Indian subcontinent. Women can wear it too and it makes a bold style statement reminiscent of the 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' by Jan Vermeer. Knowing how to tie a turban will help you to transform any outfit into something extraordinary.
Women have often worn the item too to add a little exotic glamour to their outfit. For instance, part of the allure of Jan Vermeer's famous painting 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' is the fabric so artfully wrapped around the model's head. Many celebrities have worn turbans as well, including Hedy Lamarr, Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo, Lana Turner, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Moss and Salma Hayek. Even England's Queen Elizabeth II has on occasion swapped her usual hats for a striking fabric head covering.
For an ethnic look, be inspired by Solange Knowles and add a dramatic necklace and bold, patterned fabric. Otherwise wear your head covering with a simple evening dress for a regal effect. You can wear it on cold days to keep your ears warm or on days when you just want to hide your hair. It's even a great option if you've been having chemotherapy.
There are many turban styles and different methods of tying the fabric. For the most basic version, you need a large scarf in a square shape. Fold two opposing corners together to form a triangle. Then lean over a little, place the long side of the fabric against the back of your neck and take the ends towards the front. Let the other end hang over your forehead. Tie the two ends that you've brought forward together on top of your crown.
Once you've made the knot, twist the loose ends a little and tie them back again, making a knot at the nape of your neck. Fold the pointy end back over the knot on your head and tuck it in. You can either tuck in the loose ends at the back too or let them hang free for a more relaxed look.
For an African-inspired variation of the method, tie the ends together on your forehead but instead of taking them back towards the nape of your neck, wrap them around the knot you've created. This will leave you with a big, dramatic knot on top of your head. Tie the ends and tuck them in or leave them in a bow shape. If you want, you can now push the knot towards the side of your head.
In another variation on the basic method, twist the sides around each other instead of tying them into the first knot on top of your head. Then take them back, tie them at the base of your head and tuck in all the loose ends. The pleated effect is subtle and neat.
Vintage shops often sell premade versions dating from the 1960 or 1970s. You simply wear these like you would a hat.
