There are three main ways, the rest is their variations.

Classic way

Its ends overlap in front under the chin, wind back and tie at the back of the neck. For a more stylish effect, complement the image with sunglasses. This scarf goes well with light autumn coats and well covers the head and neck on a rainy day.

You can tie a turban or turban in hundreds of ways, because the only rule is that the head should be completely covered with fabric, and the neck should be free. Otherwise, there are no restrictions: you can tie on the front, back, hide the ends or make out a beautiful bow, leave them hanging, decorate with a brooch, etc. Below are the most popular ways:

  1. Standing straight, throw a long rectangular piece of fabric over your head. Take the ends back, behind the back of the head, cross them and twist them with a tourniquet. Bundles bring forward, then wrap them around the head, securing under the layers of fabric in front or behind - as long as the length allows. The result is a compact, well-held turban.
  2. Of two scarves. Unfortunately, rectangular scarves of sufficient length for turbans are not so popular. Therefore, in order to achieve volume and an interesting color scheme, two fabric cuts can be used. Their ends are connected with each other, the node is placed on the back of the head. Throwing the ends forward they cross each other. Twist several times to get a tourniquet and return back. The procedure is repeated several times until the short ends of the tissue remain. They are seasoned between the layers.
  3. In African. A high bun is made of hair, a hair roller can be placed. A rectangular scarf is taken, it is passed at the back of the head, the ends on the forehead are crossed, and wrapped around the beam several times. The ends are hidden under a cloth anywhere or twisted with a tourniquet and tied.

Peasant

The scarf is tied under the chin, and its ends hang freely in front. Very stylish option. So the Russian peasant women wore this headdress, and the stars of the 60s made it witty. In these years, high hairstyles came into fashion - with them this way looked spectacular and feminine. Error - too tight knot on the neck. The scarf should sit lightly without squeezing the skin. Of course, the accessory should be elegant, made of quality materials, optimally silk. The coat is elegant, classic.

  2. Bright and colorful with a neutral or snow-white. Light patterned shawls are good with dark coats.
  3. Pavloposadsky shawl is combined with any coat or fur coat, but it should be the only bright accent in the image.
  4. With a coat of expensive fur - an elegant, very high-quality scarf made of silk or cashmere.
  5. Warm wool, down and fur products are best combined with short youth coats or coats.

Consider the shape and complexion:

  1. Women with a round face should either leave their hair in front of a scarf or tie it so that it covers their full cheeks. The most unfortunate option is a tight-fitting thin shawl, tied in Hollywood style. It will further emphasize roundness.
  2. Bright girls with red hair, blush, it is better to avoid colorful scarves. Cold, calm tones are best. On the contrary, ladies with an even and pale complexion can afford the colors a la Khokhloma, without risking becoming a nested doll.
