Making fashion statement with hats, fascinators
Hats have long been an integral part of fashion, serving not only as a functional accessory but also as a piece that can elevate an outfit and convey personal style.
Hats have been a part of human attire for centuries; while some use them to signify social status or occupation, others also wear them to even signify their religious affiliation.
In the fashion world, hats have played a significant role in various eras, from the olden days to the recent.
Today, hats continue to be a fashion staple, with designers incorporating them into their collections and celebrities and influencers showcasing them on social media.
From delicate fascinators to show-stopping ones, hats are adding a touch of glamour and composure to wedding guest outfits.
In an interview with The Spectator, the Chief Executive Officer of Mandis Expressions, Amanda Akorfa Agyeman, explained that fascinators are high society headpieces, which are also alternatives for hats.
According to her, they are fashion statements and complete one’s formal dressings at occasions, weddings and some outdoor sports events.
She also stated that sometimes one’s dress to a wedding might be very plain and a simple headpiece can add a touch of sophistication to it.
According to Ms Agyeman, the use of fascinators and hats dates back to the 18th century and it’s still trending.
