Hair fascinator with this dress?

I’ve got a wedding to go to and bought a nice dress to go in from debut in Debenhams. Would a fascinator look nice with it? I’m 28 so a youngish looking one, if that makes sense?. I’ll have my hair curled 1950s waves ( my hair is long) I’ll wear black high heels and a black Chanel bag to go with it. Would that look nice?

Really pretty dress.
I wouldn't bother with a fascinator, few people seem to wear them nowadays.
We went to a very smart wedding last month, there were a few large stylish hats but mostly bare heads,

Don't wear one.They don't actually look good on anyone. It's just blind trends following.
Use a sparkly hair clip or hair band.

Agree, no fascinatior!

Noooooo. I think fascinators last looked good around 2003.

A massive amazing hat on the other hand...

The small hats like the Duchess of Cambridge wears are the best compromise. My DD, who is a similar age to you, wears these to Ascot and they look stunning if you get one topped with sculptural detail. Look at Hostie Hats for inspiration. You could also look for the wide brimmed Audrey Hepburn style hat. Never goes out of fashion!

Fascinators are the height of frumpiness. Don't bother with one, just have your hair done nicely. :)

febel that dress is bloody gorgeous!

ItchySeveredFoot · 05/08/2019 18:42

And op that dress is gorgeous and I agree a statement clip or hair band would look better

febel · 06/08/2019 06:45

Might go for that then...if I don't find a different dress! Yes it does look gorgeous on the model...….!
