@Kanishka, it’s true that, at least to my knowledge, hijab is an exclusively Muslim term. But Sikh women also cover their hair, although it is purely by choice and the degree of coverage and style varies very widely among individuals. There are differences in hijabi style too, but mostly dictated by nationality, class, and level of piety. All that being said, it’s my understanding that the “styling” of hijab is a controversial topic in modern Islam. Anyone here have any insights on the issue?
This man is beautiful by nature and choice of clothing. I have always loved these turbans and appreciate them a lot more when they are not black or navy blue.

Ok, I have just decided to be the next hijabi. The only hijabi? I’ve got some gorgeous silk scarves. . . .

That's cool to mix cultures by anything – like clothes -, to do contrast ! His turban's well-matched to his suit !

My grandfather always matches his turban with his shirt when he goes out. But my favourite accessory is always the beard :)

Love the coordination and the colour seems to hint at a political nature.

Perfect, congruous, mysterious (what’s hidden under that pink turban?)

Light pink has been well pulled of by this gentlemen. A huge risk considering his age. I really love the look and the flow of colour.

I love how anonymous is clueless about the difference between Sikhs and Muslims. The comment about hijab highlights the ignorance in America.
