I need a hat or fascinator

[ohbutyoulovescarves]

To go with this dress! I was thinking a peach or pinky colour. Can anyone recommend where to get one from? I've had a look on eBay but not sure on the colour. My hair is dark brown.

M&S and John Lewis are good for fascinators once the wedding season starts. But do you have a local market, some of my best buys have been from local independent retailers. Where are you geographically?

Not a fascinator. Something big.

I'm on the outskirts of London and Kent and work in central London.

@BoudicasBoudoir ooh not sure I'm brave enough for something that large!

I like this www.asos.com/vixen/vixen-foldover-disc-with-sinamay-flowers-in-navy/prd/8975197?clr=navy&SearchQuery=vixen&gridcolumn=2&gridrow=1&gridsize=4&pge=1&pgesize=72&totalstyles=6

I like that! But do you think it might be too much navy?

I had the same colour/patterned dress and found the right shade of dusky coral in Claire's strangely.

Hi, what is the occasion? That may dictate whether a navy hat would be too ‘heavy’

It's for a wedding

For a wedding, navy may be too much but for the races the John Lewis navy hat would be perfect!

Hmmm, will do some googling! The dress is gorgeous by the way

Claire’s, Accessorize, Monsoon.

The hat Boudicca linked is perfect. Be brave, be bold! I wore this hat to a wedding last summer and honestly, once I got over the initial gulp here goes moment, I felt fabulous. And I am a good 20 years older than the model.

I think you need a big hat to balance the hem. Small hat won't look right.

Thank you! I was thinking something like this but I'm hopeless at picking the right colours out in things.

I don't think so! Navy fascinator, pink/coral shoes and clutch, good to go.

Only shared for style, not colour!

@Bananasarenottheonlyfruit and @BoudicasBoudoir I've just ordered the navy hat from JL to see what it'll look like!

This is simple but pretty www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-facinator-in-cut-out-floral-design-in-pink/prd/11211795?affid=14179&channelref=product+search&mk=abc&browsecountry=GB&currencyid=1&ppcadref=761030380%7C57677241013%7Caud-456822746624:pla-615984165795%26browsecountry%3DGB&_cclid=Google_EAIaIQobChMIwZritL6H4QIVqrDtCh2JpQHREAQYCyABEgLPq_D_BwE&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwZritL6H4QIVqrDtCh2JpQHREAQYCyABEgLPq_D_BwE

I like to shape of this too. uk.accessorize.com/view/product/uk_catalog/acc_5,acc_5.29/6913021400?skipRedirection=true&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_Zao3r6H4QIVrLztCh0ZnQifEAQYFSABEgI6N_D_BwE

It’s a lovely dress

I love the accessorize one! The postman is going to wonder what on earth I'm up to

Ohhhh I love the beautiful big hats, and I agree, go big to balance out that gorgeous skirt.

You’ll look a million dollars!

Glad you've ordered the hat. You need something to balance the dress - think something pale/ fascinating will look to fussy - a large navy hat with pale shoes will be perfect

I agree go big!

Yes go for the big hat!! Love a hat.

I've just ordered a fascinator from here. Her reviews are great and she's making it in a colour to match my dress:

I disagree that big dress needs big hat personally. I think a fitted dress needs a big hat but I'd go fascinator with your dress. I agree that it needs to not be too delicate though or it will be lost. Something from the seller I linked above in either navy or pink would be fab though.

Green would be another option. I think that would be fab. Maybe:
