Basic Information On Turban Hats

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 places, these have high importance. Groups, such as Sikhs, often wear these pieces in observance of their religion. They might also be a symbol of a culture. The style and size of the head wear will range, but turbans have existed for many years, and been used by males and females. In modern times, people in western societies have made them a part of the fashion and style world.

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.

Hats of this kind are mostly worn by women in the fashion industry. The pieces are not like traditional wrappings in that they are pre-wound. Most are secured in place or have a foundation that they are attached to. This gives the hat its shape and makes it easier for the wearer to put this on and take it off. Many brands and retailers have these items available in an assortment of sizes, patterns, materials and colors. The prices will differ as well.

Although these have become a staple in fashion, there are some who take offense to people wearing these pieces for these purposes. After all, these are considered a part of national dress in places such as Afghanistan. They are of great importance to many religions and cultures.

The front of these hats often look like a bow. These may be worn over or above the ears. Many people will wear their hair down to keep the hat flat and in its place. Some pieces cover very little of the forehead and others cover a lot. Usually the pieces are marketed and sold as one size fits most or one size fits all.

Many people wear these in the fall and winter times. This is done as a way to keep the ears and head warm when it is cold outside. They may be worn in place of knit caps, hats, berets or beanies.

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.
