Head Covering Kit Comprising a Headscarf with a Plurality of Trimmings
Disclosed is a combination of a headscarf and at least one element of trimming for the headscarf. The trimming is intended to alter the appearance of the headscarf to make it more suitable in settings where such a headscarf would otherwise create a color or stylistic dissonance with other clothing items worn by the user, or where the headscarf style or color would not be appropriate for a particular mood or social setting. The user is able to replace existing trimming and replace it with additional or other trimming that is more suitable or appealing to the user.
The present invention relates to a kit that blends a functional and practical head covering 20 with the desired adornment combination.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONHeadscarves, headwraps and turbans are still used extensively throughout the world, predominantly by women, and in some cultures by both men and women. Headscarves have both social and religious significance. As a result, a wearer may be inclined, or compelled by a religious or social obligation, to wear a headscarf during all wakeful hours or when seen in public.
A headscarf is perhaps the most noticeable element of a person's attire, and a lot of effort goes into ensuring that the headscarf's appearance is synchronized to the other elements of the 30 person's attire, as well as with the given social setting. However, wardrobe coordination requires flexibility and variety of outfits.
Presently maximum flexibility by a headscarf wearer is achieved by maintaining a large and diverse collection of headscarves to match all moods, colors, and occasions. However, this type of flexibility is not easily transportable and requires some advance planning by a wearer. Once a headscarf is removed for the location where the diverse headscarf collection is kept, it immediately turns into a one size, color, style and shape that fits all occasions, moods and colors.
Another downside of existing approach to flexibility is cost of acquisition and cost of maintenance of a large and diverse collection of headscarves. While a simple and mundane headscarf may be inexpensive, the need to obtain a substantial number of them considerably magnifies the cost of their acquisition. Furthermore, many occasions necessitate something that is more than simple or mundane. These more imposing occasions still vary in mood, setting and color like all other occasions, forcing a user to stock up on the more refined scarf variety at a substantial premium. All of these various headscarves must then be periodically cleaned and stored, which translates into a significant cost of time and money expended on maintenance.
To improve the state of the prior art, one needs a headscarf solution that which can be sufficiently varied as to be able to coordinate with more than one environment. At the same time, the variation must be easily transportable and affordable. Thus, a kit featuring one or several headscarves of different colors or styles, combined with a several individual elements of trimming removably attached to the headscarves will likely provide all of the flexibility and variation that a user will ever need.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTSThe disclosed invention is a kit comprising a headscarf in combination with at least one removable element of decorative trimming. This decorative trimming may be securely attached to the desired location along the surface of the headscarf using snap fasteners, hook and loop fasteners, magnets, or pins.
A fastener means is used to firmly but removably attach an element of trim to the surface of the headscarf. The fastener means is generally comprised of the portion that is fixated on or beneath the surface of the headscarf, with a corresponding portion attached to the bottom of a decorative element of trim. In some cases, for example with magnets, it is easy to vary the placement location of the trim along the surface of the headscarf.
The decorative trimming contemplated by the disclosed combination, includes a brooch attachment, a band attachment or any large decorative trimming requiring one ore more points of attachment to the headscarf.
Thus a user of the disclosed apparatus may begin the day with a simple headscarf, attach an attractive, but discreet decoration to fit in at a sophisticated social event during the day, and still feel at home at a celebratory dinner party at night with more lavish and elaborate trimmings, all with the same headscarf.
