Popular in Germany as well as in the U.S., I thought it only fitting that I do a segment of According to Der Goldene Schnitt on turbans and head wraps. Worn for almost all occasions from private to public, head wraps can be seen throughout 1940 - 1942 in Der Golden Schnitt. Here, are some of the examples that I found to be worth sharing:
A head wrap for keeping ones hair and pin curls tidy while sleeping . . . .
One for playing sports . . .
A turban for shopping, going out, or dining. . .
Although not an elaborately wrapped confection, a simple scarf tied under the chin works wonders on a breezy day . . .
Another option for working . . .
A more elaborate turban for going out and paired with an interesting piece of outerwear. . .
Fancy or plain, turbans and head wraps were a wardrobe staple for a variety of reasons from fashionable or practical. For a fashionable reason, turbans were an excuse to be creative and to make a form of head wear that was practically functional. On the other side, turbans kept ones hair out of the way, kept the hair clean, and hair away from potentially dangerous machinery.
