Nothing says Easter quite like a beautiful fascinator sitting pretty on your head as you step out for church service this Easter Sunday.

Fascinators come in different designs and fabric with a variety of colours to choose from. It can be for any season, and makes an ideal top off for weddings, fashion show, carnivals, tea party and other special occasions.

However, if you are thinking of wearing the fascinator to an event, make sure you pick the right shape, size, and style for you. The way you attach a fascinator to your hair depends on the fascinator style. Whether you are wearing a headband fascinator or one desined with a comb, the idea is to maintain a simple hairstyle to keep it from distracting from the fascinator, consider something like a slicked-back hairstyle or a simple ponytail and use a hairspray to secure it in place.

Here are other tips you should know and a selection of fascinators to choose from.

Coordinate the size with your hair style. If you want to wear a fascinator with your hair slicked back, then go with a smaller one. If you’re going to wear your hair loosely pulled up, then a medium size is probably the best. Wear a large fascinator if you’re wearing your hair down and in a voluminous style

Pick a colour that matches your outfit. Your fascinator will give off a more subtle, classy boldness if it looks like it belongs with the outfit you’re wearing. To ensure this, wear a fascinator that is the same colour as the outfit you are wearing.

Get a fascinator that complements your face shape. It looks best to create a contrast between your fascinator shape and your face shape. If you have a more round face, opt for a slightly taller fascinator. If you have a longer or thinner face, a spherical or disc-shaped fascinator looks best.

Stay classy and stylish. You don’t need to wear an enormous peacock feather to stand out, instead, keep it simple but appealing.
