Trend Alert

Each season there is a ‘zone' stars collectively decide to draw attention to; the waist, the back, the front? But something far less obvious and of infinitely higher impact has been the preoccupation this summer over headgear. From a dazzling fascinator a la SJP, to a perfectly pretty hairband, marvellous millinery and heavenly hairwear is one of summer's hottest trends.

But why wait for a wedding or the Dubai World Cup? Channel Dita Von Teese‘s vintage allure in an elegant pillbox hat day or night, or go practical with pins - after all, wasn't it a dazzling butterfly clip that turned Johannsen from Scarlett to starlet overnight? Talk about ladies who use their heads to get what they want!

Should you wear it?

Rather dubious about it all? Bejewelled clips or embellished headbands are the best way of testing the trend, and are super practical whether at work, on the dancefloor or at the beach. But if you've got a fabulous party, intimate dinner date or suitably glamorous outing to go to, why just let the focus be on your clothes? Top off your dress with a fabulous fascinator, and you'll soon be turning heads for all the right reasons. And what girl doesn't want an accessory that fits and looks fabulous with everything, even on a bad day?
