Ask Camp Comfort: Turbans and Headwraps

Ask Camp Comfort is off to an exciting start and this week we are addressing the style inquiry of Tamarah from cutey blog Dolly Varden Vintage. Tamarah has been loving the look of Turbans and Headwraps like those from Prada's S/S 2007 collection, but is struggling to find the perfect way to wear them...

The turban/headwrap has made many appearances in women's fashion over the years. The first images that come to mind when I think of headwrap fashion are those of actress Gloria Swanson and the legendary fashion house Biba. Decades apart but oozing with the same sense of bohemian chic.

Since I will definitely not claim to be a pro at the tying portion... I am a fan of the pre-wrapped versions...

These headwraps are easy to throw on with a sleek ponytail or long tossled hair:

Beau Oise Silk Turban ($85), Jacqueline Lamont Liberty Print Turban ($50), UO Rose Headwrap ($16), F21 Turban Headband ($3.80).

And what could be easier than a headband! These have that fantastic Prada-esque knot on top:

Jennifer Ouellette Ikat Turban ($70), Jennifer Ouellette Double Layer Turban ($70).

Lastly there is the always-classic head scarf.... Twisted around and tied in front or left long in the back:

So, what do you think? Would you sport the headwrap??? What's your favorite version of the look?

If anyone has any tips on headscarf tying, we'd love to hear them!
