Nothing is New. As my one of my favorite blogs puts it. Everything old makes a grand return, once someone remembers how fabulous it truly was. The Fashion hats that I speak of are the Cocktail Hat and the Fascinator.
WHAT ARE FASHION HATS?
A cocktail hat is a small, extravagant hat for a woman. An alternative to a large-brimmed hat, and often easier to wear for indoors events and more evening oriented. These hats are often decorated with luxurious fabrics, beads, feathers, jewels and sometimes a veil.
A fascinator is a similarly decorative hairpiece worn on the side of the head that may be secured by a clip, comb or headband. Hair accessories like cocktail hats, fascinators have never really gone away.
HOW TO WEAR THEM?
Fashion hats are not just for royal weddings anymore. We saw them all over the runways for Autumn/Winter 2011 and Spring 2012.
They can be worn with your hair up or down adding further opportunity to flatter your face. Placement is up to you and depends upon the hair style and the hat! Experiment to see what looks best on you. These pieces can be worn at the hairline, or closer to the back of your head. One rule of thumb is if it looks good it works. Fashion hats accessories pack a big punch and are meant to be worn at an angle to flatter the face of all shapes.
Going out for cocktails in jeans, a t-shirt, a jacket and your sequins beret style cocktail hat is tres chic! Date night with that new LBD you found won't compete with your golden fascinator.The Girly Girl
She is a romantic and a Girl's Girl! She loves feminine details, soft shapes. She doesn't need to be showy, but fun and feminine. Her beauty is the thing. A lovely face framing number with pretty trim that brings attention to her sweet face will do the trick!
