The turban trend


A great hat may be the number one must have accessory for the season, however when it comes to attention grabbing head wear right now, if you like something a little more show stopping, a turban will be a sure way to get noticed.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen the turban worn as a fashion accessory, it made an appearance in the 40’s and most memorably in the 70’s by celebs such as Barbra Streisand and Bianca Jagger. This time around it was Carrie in SATC2 and Salma Hayek attending a Stella McCartney runway show in Paris that put it on the radar, not to mention it’s appearance in plenty of Spring 2011 fashion shows late last year.

Now we’re seeing it on the streets and on our favourite fashion bloggers. Aimee from songofstyle.blogspot.com has a recent post on “How to Tie a Turban” while Rumi from www.fashiontoast.com cosies up in a knitted turban style beanie.

Some people just can’t understand why the turban keeps making a fashion comeback, I personally quite like it, it’s such a simple way to polish your look (and not to mention cover a bad hair day!) What do you think?
