The platok (pla-t-Ok/платок) is a scarf/shawl (sha-rf/шарф) or kerchief/head-covering. This is can be a subtle or bold look that has been in Russian or Eastern European fashion as early as the 16th century.
As for today, Russia’s more contemporary style has taken these platki into the couture side of fashion. Designers like Ulyana Sergeenko (Уляна Сергиенко) captured the look of Russian women braving the cold in fashion while sporting western style outfits. These designs traditionally appear in Russian designers fall collections (without fail), be they scarves or head coverings.
