Retro Head Wraps

YSL, Madonna and Prada Present Bohemian Chic

Chic turbans and head wraps are the best way to keep your head warm and looking fabulous this winter. Some of the hottest faces of fashion have been spotted wearing this fab 1940s and 1950s accessory.

These head wraps remind me of Karen Blixen: classy, elegant and a bit eccentric. In the gallery above, we see headwear from Prada, YSL and Madonna’s line for H&M;. I’ve also included the fashion-forward Ashley Olsen donning a head wrap. The last image in the gallery is a DIY photo guide to help you style your own head scarf.
