By Erna Gutierrez


Turban is one, of many, words that are used to describe a headpiece worn all around the world. These wraps are traditionally made from long cloth that has been tied around the head. There are many different versions, as well as ways to wear the pieces. Men and women might also wear turban hats. These are accessories that are style to look like turbans but available in hat form.

In some regions of the world, these are worn for significant reasons. They might be donned for religious observance, which is the case for most Sikh groups. They can also be a cultural symbol. The size and style of these units are known to differ, but wrapped turbans have been around for centuries, and worn by both females and males. In more recent years, they have become a popular piece in western cultures, particularly in fashion.

These hats are not worn by many people who are known for wearing wrapped turbans, such as groups in the Middle East, South Asia and Central Asia. The pieces are not only worn on the head in these regions and cultures. In fact, these individuals often use these wrappings for seating, warmth in cold temperatures, water carrying, and ties for animals. Their purpose is seldom related to making a fashion statement.

In fashion, these hats are worn primarily by women. They are different than traditional wraps in that they come folded and are usually sewn in place or have a foundation that helps them keep their shape. This allows for easier application, as well as removal. There are numerous brands and retailers that sell these head pieces in various sizes, materials, colors, patterns. Prices are expected to vary.

Regardless of the popularity of these hats, there are some who believe it is disrespectful for people to wear these with such intention. In regions such as Afghanistan, the turban is the national dress code. In general, turbans are considered significant and important elements of many religions and cultures.

The front of the hat may look like a bow. The piece can be worn on top of ears or above them. Often the person will put his or her hair down in order to keep the hat in place and flat. The hat may cover little or a lot of the forehead. Typically these are sold as one size fits most or all.

Often these are worn during the fall and winter seasons. They tend to keep both the head and ears warm, when the weather is cold. They may serve as an alternative to the beanie, beret, hat or knit cap.

Turban hats have become a popular accessory in fashion. They are styled after traditional turban wraps, which have been around for hundreds of years. The hats are worn on the head for style. However, in some regions, the turban is used as a part of cultural significance, national dress or religious observances. Various patterns, colors, materials and sizes are available. The prices will range depending on the brand and retailer.
