What is Fascinator?
A fascinator is a formal headpiece, a style of millinery.
Since the 1990s the term has referred to a type of formal headwear worn as an alternative to the hat; it is usually a large decorative design attached to a band or clip.
In contrast to a hat, its function is purely ornamental: it covers very little of the head, and offers little or no protection from the weather.
An intermediate form, incorporating a more substantial base to resemble a hat, is sometimes called a hatinator.
Racing Fascinators
Attending the race is considered as an important as well as enjoyable part of the culture in Australia. Spring racing fashion indulges the visitors especially the females to wear colorful fascinators, hats or headpieces. The tradition of wearing the spring racing fascinator was originated during the queen of France, Marie Antoinette. The tradition continues and today wearing hats, headpieces, and fascinators are immensely popular among the women.
