Power fashion: turbans and shoulders 1944

"Just after the 2nd World War womens clothes showed a masculine influence with huge tailored shoulders, sensible shoes and bags, sober colours and rather extravagant turban-like hats. Hair was generally swept up into a high roll at the front."from: http://tolpuddlemartyr.blogspot.com/2011/01/when-women-were-women.html

"American Vogue declared 1940 the year of the turban". The scarf turban became part of the uniform for female industrial workers in the Second World War as a simple and stylish way to get long hair out of the way." from: http://lastyeargirl.blogspot.com/2013/05/turbans.html
