Defying the sun
Headscarves are not about providing warmth. Quite the opposite: The brain needs protection from heat without the headgear being too heavy. At the same time, in some variations, the additional textile proves to be protection against wind, dust, and sand. It's no coincidence that male desert dwellers in oriental areas of our planet consistently rely on the "kufiya," also known as the "Palestinian scarf," "bandana," or "shemagh." Arab and Turkish people almost universally use headscarves as standard headgear.
The lightweight material doesn't weigh down but proves useful in many weather conditions in warm areas with loose soil. For Western Europeans, spontaneity plays a significant role: many models can be draped flexibly, used as a scarf when needed, or stored compactly in a pocket. This means the accessory is always at hand in the jacket or safari pants, which can be pleasant during the changeable weather of the German homeland.
For various purposes, the models are also available in different shapes, colors, and camouflage patterns, such as black, red, with flecktarn, or other prints. This also includes fun variations like a pirate headscarf or one with a werewolf's teeth. This allows for relatively easy "transformations," even during Carnival.
