I've never owned a fascinator. I have no objection to them, but I've never attended an event that called for one. Hats, on the other hand, I have always had a thing for.
I learned some time ago that it's more masculine style hats that suit me best - boaters, Panamas, trilbys.
I also remembered the other day that I had a prolonged period - probably twenty years - of wearing grey trench coats.
Basically a character from a film like The Third Man, really.
