It’s the “regal effect” for me! Head wraps are a staple in my life. I wear them to spruce up casual looks and red carpet stunners alike.
Did you know?
“In 1785, Spanish colonial governor Esteban Rodriguez Miró mandated that Afro-Creole women wear tignons, a turban-like head wrap, to undermine their “exotic” allure. Tignon Laws aimed to reaffirm the social order by marking women of color as different. Afro-Creole women protested, decorating their tignons with jewels, ribbons, and feathers. Ultimately, the tignon became a defiant fashion statement for free women of color.”
Head wraps can be styled in so many ways and most malleable, large scarves will do the trick. Even infinity scarves can make great head wraps. I wear them every once in a while now but there was a season when I rocked a new head scarf everyday. Needless to say that I now own more scarves than I want to admit.
