Fascinators have been a huge trend during the Spring Racing Carnival, especially for those not comfortable with wearing hats. For those looking for a cross between a hat and a fascinator, there is the new hatinator, set to start a new trend in Spring racing fashion. You still get the new and modern look of a fascinator but without having to stray too far away from the traditional hats with these new creations.
Styling for Crown Oaks Day
Crown Oaks Day is known to be a day for the ladies. This is where fun, bright colours should be worn, while still maintaining an air of femininity. This Fuchsia & Black Saucer Style Hatinator (Louise) is perfect to match with a body con style dress, also in Fuchsia, picking up the colour from the hatinator. The saucer style straw hat is quaint, while the straw ribbons on top and feathers accentuates the hatinator. The black polkda dotted netting on the front creates an air of mystery to those around you. Wear this with some understated black jewellery like this pearl chain necklace and this black faux crystal stone stretch bracelet. Remember to bring along a pashmina to wrap yourself in once the sun sets and the cool air sets in. This Fuchsia & Black Saucer Style Hatinator (Louise) is sure to turn heads come Oaks Day.
Styling for Derby Day
Derby Day is known to be traditionally black and white, and with a classic look that is hard to beat, try this Black & White Feathers & Straw Hatinator (Carmella). It is a traditional touch with a modern twist with the straw white hat and black feathers at the top. Wear it with your hair tied up in a side ponytail, or leave it down and have it curled. Keep accessories simple yet glamorous with this dome jewelled cocktail ring and some black heart stud earrings. Finish it all up with this white with black stripe clutch bag that would match perfectly with the Black & White Feathers & Straw Hatinator (Carmella).
Styling for Melbourne Cup Day
Melbourne Cup day allows us to be that little bit more creative and flamboyant, so choosing bright colours would be the way to go. This Fuchsia & Black Feather & Straw Hatinator (Carmella) will turn heads with its unique design. The straw fuchsia straw hat is in-keeping with the traditional hat, yet the feathers used to decorate the hat adds a modern touch to it. The hatinator, is called a hatinator, because unlike a hat, it is attached to an Alice band, giving you a few choices of what to do with your hair. Leave it down, curl it or even tie it in a side ponytail. This hatinator would go really well with a bright fuchsia top, in luscious material and a pencil skirt. Tone it down with glamorous and classy pearls for your necklace and bracelet. This faux python beige clutch just brings it all together, providing the finishing touch to the Fuchsia & Black Feather & Straw Hatinator (Carmella).
