The first headscarves appeared centuries ago, and were popular among women in the Middle Ages. Later, the linen headscarf was transformed into a turban for men and was worn to protect the head from bad weather. The colour of headscarves often symbolises something. For example, a white headscarf is worn for special occasions.
The English brought headscarves back to Western Europe in the twentieth century and sold them as scarves. The pretty scarves have become a timeless fashion accessory and are sold in every colour and pattern imaginable.
For Spring/Summer 2008, the headscarf became an absolute must-have. Designers like Balenciaga, Zara and H&M featured them in their fashion spotlights.
