toc =Introduction = media type="custom" key="27222202" =Design Context & Design Brief = Who wears hats or the modern equivalent the fascinator these days? The most obvious two occasions are weddings and big international horse races. For example articles in the news (2015): The Kentucky Derby Australian Race Day Archive photos form the past Royal Ascot Recommended dress code! "A fascinator is a headpiece, a style of millinery. The word originally referred to a fine, lacy head covering... The term had fallen almost into disuse by the 1970s. In the early 21st century, the term has made a comeback, but the meaning has slightly changed; it is now used to describe a delicate, slightly-to-very frivolous head decoration worn almost exclusively by women. A fascinator may be worn instead of a hat to occasions where hats were traditionally worn—such as weddings—or as an evening accessory, when it may be called a cocktail hat. It is generally worn with fairly formal attire."
