Stylish WaysTo Rock Hair Fascinators

A fascinator is a small headpiece different from a hat because it has decorations mounted on a base like a comb, headband or clip, and attached to the head. A fascinator is a hair accessory often worn at British formal events but with fashion trends upgrading everyday it has become a fashion people rock for weddings, cocktail parties etc.



Fascinators are designed with the wearer in mind, and will usually but not always come with a clip, comb, or hairband attachment. This ensures they stay put, and that they are easy and comfortable to wear.

Your fascinator will usually come attached to one of three things: a comb, a clip, or a hairband. If you are looking to give this accessory a try, keep in mind the following fascinator etiquettes:

  • Wearing a fascinator might seem daunting at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy Keep it in proportion to your head, body, and hairstyle size. For example, if you have a big head or big ear, do not wear a dainty fascinator. You would look better with a larger style.

  • Keep your hairstyle simple so it does not distract from your fashion accessory. A simple ponytail, a slicked-back style, or a slightly-curled free-falling style look best.


  • Keep it stylish and classy. There is no need to sport a 3-foot ostrich feather off the top of your head! Start small and simple.

  • A fascinator looks best when worn just above the eyebrow. It can also be worn as a tiara or towards the back of the head.

  • Invest in a good hatbox to store your fascinator when not in use. This will keep it free of dust, and ensure it stays in perfect condition until the next time you wear it.


  • If your fascinator comes with an elastic strap, don’t wear it under your chin. Instead, wear it behind your ears and fasten it to the nape of your neck with bobby pins.

  • Think about what you are wearing, and choose a fascinator accordingly. Fussy dresses require simple fascinators, while a plain dress leaves more room for you to add drama with your choice of fascinator.

  • Most importantly, wear your fascinator with confidence
