Goodbye fedoras. There's a new way to cover up a bad hair day inspired by traditional
Indian ornamental headdress: turbans.
Regarded as a symbol of honor and respect in India (and called
pagri), turbans hit my fashion radar this summer with
Carrie's look on
Sex and the City II.
Since then, the super-sophisticated look has permeated pop culture with style mavens like
June Ambrose, Salma Hayek, Kourtney Kardashian and
Solange Knowles wrapping their hair in gorgeous fabric.
And I'm loving the look!
Unlike a fedora for example, which primarily comes in solid colors, you can make a colorful, patterned turban the focal point of your outfit like
Solange. And while bold
glamazons like
Solange and
June Ambrose wrap their hair up in a turban, you can also rock a turban like a hat on top of your head and let your hair hang underneath like
Salma Hayek and
Kourtney Kardashian. I'm not bold enough to
wear it to a gala like June Ambrose...
But I will wear it with my hair peeking out like
Salma Hayek or in the front like
Solange this week since it's raining (and I just got my hair done!).
What about you? Would you wear the look?
