A Prada turban on the spring Fashion Week runway from Style.com
We moaned and groaned at first because let's face it—the turban is such an easy sartorial target (for one, it looks like a shower cap).
Then we thought, rather than simply bash this questionable headgear, let's see if we can find a case where it works—et voila, you're looking at it!
Paired with an elegant, floor-length black dress, we think this satin jewel-colored turban is the perfect accessory for evening. It's a glamorous throwback to fashion fifty years ago or so. And for some reason, it reminds us of The English Patient. It's sophisticated, chic, and hardly looks like she's hiding a bad hair day.
Perhaps that's the key: the idea that a turban can be tossed on to cover unkempt hair is a bit absurd. The woman who can successfully pull off the turban trend must wear it with resolve and clear intent.
Will you be donning a turban this season? Has fashion gone mad, or is this a fresh alternative to hats?
P.S. If you answered "yes" to the former, get your turban for $28 here. >>
