Head scarves

Lola123

Good idea or bad idea?
I really like them but I've seen too many ppl lookin stupid in them.

I will be investing in a nice big headscarf and matching sunnys. Just bought myself a Mazda Mx5 and can't possibly have the top down without the requisite headscarf!

Like a lot of things in life - "it depends"... I've seen it pulled off really well in the past.

If it can be pulled off well, then yeah... But usually it'd be a no

Do you mean the ones like mammy used to wear in the early 70s?

Or the islamic ones? Neither bother me at all, though I'd never wear either myself.

No, no no! Don't think "my mum in the 70s." Think mysterious, classy, elegant ice-queen. Think a young Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Sharon Stone or Catherine Deneuve.

A belted Mac, fine leather gloves, big movie-star sunglasses, high heels and top it off with a stunning silk headscarf. The 'Sloane Ranger' knotted under the chin scarf can look a little old-fashioned. Try the headwrap, where you drape a large triangle over your head, cross the ends under your chin and knot them at the back or side of your neck.

Then get haughty and just watch the reaction. It's easier to do this with strangers at first and then gradually introduce your Grace Kelly look to your nearest and dearest. I am always amused at how catty girlfriends can be with this - a whole "who do you think you are, Jackie Onassis?" thing.

To hell with the begrudgers. Have a look at http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/rodan657/ and see how young women wear this fabulous look.

Nightwish

not my cup of tea at all. IMO, they belong on people hiding the grey or blue rinse. When i read the thread title, I thought it was referring to bandana's. would the OP go for those instead if they feel the need to cover their head?

simu

No - they make your head look small and people suspect you're trying to hide baldness.

Tar.Aldarion

on the other hand bandanas make you look cool like solid snake,go for that.
If you are seventy or eighty though,do it,it's all the rage.

They must be a strange fashion item! I always associated them with modesty as well. I think how you look in them depends on how you tie it, I prefare not to wear one. Really the only half decent way is the way you see on muslim girls and women, but I'm not sure that is the fashion statement you are going for!

They look great if you're driving along in an open top convertible with sunglasses.

She wasn't wearing a head scarf?

I was thinking more along the lines of Thelma and Louise.....

The headscarves from Latent Curehead's link that are like bandanas look fine, but cancer is the first thing that comes into my head with the complete headscarves - that or a Missy Elliot wannabe

I wore a bandana yesterday and people kept staring at me so I took it off.

I gave my head scarf a go yesterday just so see people's reactions as well, and I have to say the irish public don't see it as a fashion statement yet! I ended up talking it off afte an hour 'cos of the looks.

d4gurl

Such a narrow minded socitey! Where what you want when you want!

Stark

"I'm a celebrity get me out of here!" has pushed back the headscarves movement years in my opinion.

Its very Eastern European nouveau-retro these days.

Wait... You mean the kind of get-up an actress would use when they want to look intentionally unnatractive to avoid being noticed? Sorry, there's nothing fabulous about that.

i wouldn't wear one personally but every person to themselves i suppose

NoDayBut2Day

I think head scarves look pretty. Not many people wear them, so it looks unique .. like someone's own style. Just my opinion though.
