Not only were turbans and head wraps were practical, but they were made into fashionable accessories too. Above, is an example of a series of fashionable turbans made out of a variety of materials such as velvet, colorful rayons and cottons, and even straw! The reasons why these were so popular as fashionable accessories in both America and Germany was because they were not rationed like clothes and other wearable goodies. These could also keep a woman looking glamorous when she lacked the time to do so otherwise (perfect for this ugly dame right?). Anyway, like I did for the more practical turbans, I thought here would be a good time to offer the other more fancy versions that continue to capture our imaginations today:
This one is possibly my favorite . . .the tulips are a great touch aren't they? They add interest to an otherwise dull suit and add a pop of color in an unusual way.
Adding a brooch or a piece of jewelry to a rather simple wrap can add a great deal of interchangeable interest.
