Turbans are back. According to the Examiner, which recommends pairing a turban with some sweatpants (I imagine before you go on a brisk jog where you’ll formulate other bad ideas):
“it dates back to vintage glamour from the 1920′s, and we love a great vintage accessory come back! The 1920′s was such a classic era for fashion, therefore the turban is a great way to pay homage to the decade.”
Oddly, I notice no on is enthusiastic about the opium pipe I’ve been toting around, or my tortoiseshell diaphragm. I do not know why. I guess most of the people I encounter don’t like vintage glamor, or realize that you need a “turtle friend” in a world full of Julian Assange types.
Anyhow, let’s rate how well turbans work on different people:

Or, how about instead of wearing it because it’s a fad, I wear it because I want to identify with my roots?
Not so sound pretentious or anything–I just think it’s lame that it’s “in” and I’m bitter. =/
Why is everything always good only on Kate? I DISAGREE, I say Carrie gets a 10 and Kate a 2, that silver thing is pure ugly.
Okay, priveleged cosmo-swilling New Yorker who defines her religion as “open to all” on vacation in a country where turbans aren’t just a cutesy fashion statement. 2.
What’s wrong with being “privileged” though – does this imply we should rip away burgeoning privileges of freedom of religion, and ability to dress, eat, and drink as we choose, from nations where people – especially women – are fighting hard to acquire and keep them them?
As for turbans not being a fashion statement in that country, you’re right – they’re practical dress for that climate, nothing wrong with that either for fun or to keep from getting sunstroke. The same as coming from the UAE and wearing stylish designer wellies in Kensington or Liverpool. I guess what I’m saying is, I just don’t get the anger I’m sensing here?
Aww, come on. Poor Carrie is working that turban for more than a two! The clothes were really the only half way decent part of that ridiculous movie…
