What’s a Turban & How to Wear it

Tutorial on How to Tie a Simple Turban

• Firstly, put all your hair in a tight bun on the top of your head
• Tie on a patka (a small piece of a square cloth with loose ends to tie it tightly) Patka secures your hair in one place.
• Now, start wrapping your turban from back to the front (Tip: hold one corner by your teeth, it allows you to have both hands free while you wrap the turban).
• Switch sides and repeat the step above.
• Continue doing this until your head is completely covered, making the pooni (you need to do it for 4 or more times)
• You can either tuck the ends in or for a more dramatic effect let them free.

↓ 16 – Simple Traditional Look

Sometimes a crisp white shalwar kameez and a properly tied turban is the best look. Keep it to a minimum and not over the top. It can work for both, casual day to day activities as well as a get-together or family reunion or any other low-key events. If you are not a shalwar guy then you can wear a straight white pajama, according to your taste. Rolling your sleeves up a little and wearing a simple watch gives a more handsome and young look. Finish your look with a pair of loafers or sandals. Here are 20 Best Black Kurta Pajama for Men 2018.

↓ 15 – Clash of Cultures

Just because you follow your religious practice of donning a turban does not mean jeans are prohibited for you. The two can give a really cool look together if paired properly. You do not have to forget your values and culture just to fit in another. Sweatshirts and jeans with your turban as a headdress and some white sneakers are a typical look Sikhs of the modern day. The turban gives you a sharp and handsome look.

↓ 14 – Color Coordination

Turbans are usually not matched with the rest of your attire, but in cases of formal occasions, you might want to keep it classy. You can match the color of your turban to your pocket square or your tie. This gives an impression of a planned outfit rather than looking like a random pick of clothes. You can even go with contrasting. For instance, if you are dressed in a grey shalwar kameez, you can match it with a pink pagri as the combination is good to look at. Similarly, blue and khaki go great together as well.
