The fascinator is the modern headgear that is taking over. Since its introduction in the twentieth century, the fascinator has progressed beyond the millinery hairpiece commonly seen at churches and weddings. With a wide range of styles, this accessory is quickly becoming a must-have in the wardrobe of every lady who aspires to be a trendsetter.
Those of you who are still unaware of one of fashion’s “IT” accessories! The fascinator is a hat often fashioned with a moulded and shaped fabric base and embellished with beads or feathers. It is linked to a headband or clip and worn on the head for utility.
While a fascinator may appear to be the ideal headpiece to pair with an avant-garde gown or a tiny dress, a few things to consider before purchasing one.
Colour
As we usually say, colour can make or break your overall appearance when arranging an outfit.
When choosing a fascinator, a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, “Does the colour complement or conflict with my dress?” Never choose a fascinator based merely on the beauty of its design; always consider the colour.
Instead of wearing an orange disc fascinator with a pink gown, use a neutral colour like white.
Design
Fascinators are well-known for their extravagant designs and styles. However, some ensembles necessitate the use of basic yet attractive fascinators.
To correctly evaluate this factor, think of a fascinator as an accessory that should compliment, rather than overpower, the ensemble.
Your facial features also heavily influence the sort of fascinator you wear. For example, a taller fascinator is better if you have a rounded face shape.
Hairstyle
When choosing a fascinator, keep your hairdo in mind unless you’re going for a bald look.
The fundamental purpose of a fascinator, like a scarf or a hat, is to embellish the head. Choose the fascinator that best compliments your hairstyle.
Event Classification
You wouldn’t wear your gym clothes to a lecture, so you should be mindful about the type of fascinator you wear to events.
Although fascinators are fairly adaptable, some are better suited for specific events. Don’t expect praise when you walk into a funeral wearing a pink fascinator with big feathers and beads.
