Styling your fascinators? A new headpiece called the fascinator is taking its place in the hearts of many. Since its introduction in the twentieth century, the fascinator has progressed outside the womenswear hairpiece commonly seen at churches and weddings. With a wide range of designs, this accessory is quickly becoming a must-have in the wardrobe of any lady who aspires to be a style icon.
Buckle up, for those of you who are unaware, the fascinator is a type of headwear that is typically made with a shaped fabric base and embellished with beads or feathers. It is glued to a headband or clip.
While a fascinator may appear to be the ideal accessory to wear with an artistic dress or a cocktail dress, there are a few things to consider before purchasing one.
Colour
As we always say, colour can either make or break your overall appearance when it comes to dressing.
When styling your fascinators, a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, “Does the colour complement or clash with my dress?” Never choose a fascinator based solely on the allure of its styling; always consider the colour.
Instead of wearing a bright red disc fascinator with a pink gown, choose a neutral colour like white.
Design
With the world growing fast in fashion new fascinator designs are getting more and more colourful. Fascinators are well-known for their extravagant designs and styles. However, some outfits necessitate the use of simple fascinators.
To perfectly consider this factor, think of a fascinator as an accessory that should complement, rather than overshadow, the outfit.
The kind of fascinator you wear is also heavily influenced by your facial features. For instance, if you have a round face shape, a taller fascinator is best.
Hairstyle
When choosing a fascinator, keep your hairstyle in mind, unless you’re going for a bald look.
The primary purpose of a fascinator, like a scarf or a hat, is to beautify the head. Choose the fascinator that better supports your hairstyle.
The Type of Event
You wouldn’t wear your workout clothes to a seminar, so you should be watchful about the type of fascinator you wear to events.
Even though fascinators are very versatile, some are better suited for specific events. When you walk into a funeral choosing to wear a pink fascinator with feathers, don’t expect applause.
