Arab Turban Different Styles And Types

By Kate McMahon


It isn't true to say that only those Muslim men who are strictly religious wear Arab turban.In fact, it is worn by others who are not that religious at all. The truth is that it is more likely something belonging to their traditional values rather than religious values. When it comes to different designs and styles, the variety can be endless depending on the fact that where you actually live and what cultural values you follow.

The turban styles might fluctuate because of so many different reasons. In countries like Yemen, people wear a thin cap called the Kalansuwa under their turbans and wrap around it. The color of the cap is usually white or sometimes green but it could be of different colors as well. Similarly, individuals who live in Saudi Arabia traditionally wear checkered scarf either red and white or black and white over their head with a dark band on top.

Not all residents belonging to Muslim countries wear these head accessories but they are definitely regarded as a part of their tradition and culture. One should know that it isn't a compulsory thing rather something to do with the cultural values if an individual. Even those who don't wear it in their day to day life prefer wearing it on special occasions like Eid celebrations, Wedding days and other prestigious occasions.

The total length of the cloth used for this purpose may differ as well. For instance, Many men lean toward wearing very long turbans and generally they abandon one end of it to hang down on one of the shoulders. Their favored color is dark and they typically don't wear any sort of cap under it and just use the fabric on top of their head and wrap whatever remains of the cloth over it.

The leaders of many Arab nations are seen wearing such head gear which suggests that its a common practice among them. At the same time, the style and design of it can be slightly different as compared to ordinary ones. These specially designed turbans could be pure white or black in color and usually a golden or silver band is placed on top of the head to secure it.

Sometimes, this head accessory is worn to signify an individual's cast, standing in the society, religious belonging and cultural values. Depending on all these factors the color, style and overall look of this head accessory could be distinguished among the rest. Many individuals use it as a way to show their power and wealth in the society they belong to.

Not many people are aware of the fact that originally this head accessory was used by Arab people living in desserts. In order to keep their faces clean of sand, they use to wrap their heads and faces while using turbans. As the time passed by, people started wearing them even outside the dessert lands and soon it became a traditional symbol now followed by millions of Arab men.

It is a true fact that when it comes to Arab turban, a lot of traditional and cultural values are related to it. Although the overall look and style may vary from person to person or from one region to another but most of the people wear it to display their overall standing in their respective society.
