The Turban || I want it to trend

January 09, 2013



They are chic and exciting..... and yes difficult to wear, I know.  They come in and out of the fashion scene.  Different designers have featured them in their collections throughout  the years.  And the trend never really has stuck, but I have a feeling we will start seeing more of it.  We tend to look to the past for inspiration in interior design, art, and fashion, striving to take something old and make it new and relevant again.  I think the turban could make a revival?  I loved when Mrs. Lilien did a lovely post about them some weeks ago.   Honestly, I would wear one.






and here is my version.  I wish I had a better photo....cause it was really cute. 


And just in case you want to experiment...these were my faves.....



And if a turban is not in your future another toned down option is the headscarf.... Cool beans indeed.  Be different, be cool.

  3. I'd put one on and my husband would surely look at me like I was a weirdo. Truth is, I've always wanted one... I have had visions of myself donning a colorful turban, laying around in a caftan by our pool. I've even thought of theming a pool day just so I could cruise around in one all day long so I would not feel awkward. Maybe 2013 is the year to take a few fashion risks, no matter what others might think, no?

  4. I, too, am obsessed with the turban trend. I remember that post from Mrs. Lilien, it made me love them even more. Remember SJP's turban in SATC 2?!? I need mine to look like the model in the second photo - so lovely with those sunnies!
