There’s something of a headwear revival going on – helped in no small part by the veritable feast of fashion on show at the Royal Wedding.
Royal Ascot last week crowned the comeback of headgear, with a range of hats, hairpieces and fascinators sported by everyone from princesses to horse owners.
Fascinators really are the must-have at the moment, and are the perfect finishing touch for any occasional dress.
White is very much in fashion at the moment, along with lace, so if you want to add a trendy touch to your summer style, any lace headband could be an ideal start.
More formal occasions call for more formal fascinators – and with feathers also making their mark on catwalks worldwide, you could find a beautiful design that’s both elegant and fashionable.

For your Summer holiday this year, ensure you have the items to make you look and feel fabulous.  The key is to avoid over-packing by assessing exactly the essentials you need to bring your outfits together and keep you looking fashionable on your trip.
A stylish beach bag
This is an essential for those hitting the beach, to keep sunglasses, suncream, magazines etc in. Go for bright summer colours and make sure your bag is roomy enough – a overcrammed misshapen bag is never a good look.
A fabulous string of beads
Pick beads which will go with a few different outfits to save having to bring multiple items of jewellery – colours like gold will work well.
A linen jacket
A linen jacket will keep you warm on those cooler evenings, and with this versatile material you don’t need to worry about it getting creases in your handbag.

Here are a few tips for women in their fifties wanting to look their best with some expert fashion tips.
Threads magazine believes that with a few subtle changes, you can make yourself stand out from the crowd.
One of their top tips is that less can sometimes be more.
Do away with the mass amounts of rings, bracelets and beads and focus on good quality pieces of jewellery that bring out the best in you and your outfit.
When picking out some new clothes for a new outfit, diagonal lines can get the most out of your outfit encouraging the â??eye[s] to move up and downâ? according to the magazine.
Fitting is also very important in bringing out the best of your figure, as such when you are looking for new ladies fashion tops you should try and find women’s clothing that is fitted to the shoulder line.
This in turn can be improved with your women’s clothing being measured down to around the just below waist or high hip length in order to show off your figure best.
Reinforcing this point you should look for clothes that are not too tight, but are the right fitting, to ensure that you are well fitted and looking to your max.

We all know that the accessories to any look complete your outfit, but some people are left confused as to what accessories look good and what donâ??t look so good when wearing a party dress.
Take a look at the few tips and tricks below in order to accessorise your party dress perfectly.
The Little Black Dress (LBD)
Every woman should own a little black dress or two, but one of the hardest things is accessorising it.
The Strapless LBD
This is a great opportunity to wear dangly earrings or a bold necklace. However, donâ??t wear both go for the necklace or earrings. If you wear them together then you will lose the whole simplicity of the dress, which isnâ??t good. If you choose the necklace then wear simple stud earrings, so that you wonâ??t look too overdressed.
Chunky Bracelets
Accessorise your dress with chunky bracelets for a casual, chic look. If you want to feel more glamorous then go for dainty, sparkly jewellery.
Halter Neck Dresses
Try not to wear necklaces with a halter neck dress as they will only get lost within the material, only wear a necklace if the v-neck on your dress is quite low. Halter neck dresses accentuate your shoulders, so draw the attention upwards and accessorise with some dangling earrings. Wearing a simple flower or hair accessory will look great with a halter neck dress, as you are constantly drawing the attention upwards.
Pearls
Pearls are a great Parisian look. Try wearing a string of pearl beads around your neck, or double the strands to create two different lengths. Complete the look with pearl earrings.
The Perfect Bag
Choose a small embroidered or beaded or clutch bag. This will add extra detail and sparkle to any outfit.
Wrap
If its colder weather or you simply want something to cover your shoulders then go for a sheer wrap to wear around your shoulders. Go for a plain style, a nice velvet wrap would look great over a black dress and glitz it up a bit with different jewellery.
Non LBD
If you arenâ??t wearing an LBD to the party, then just think about the colour of the dress that youâ??re wearing:
Red â?? a red dress would look great with some black jewellery, a long string of black beads and black stoned earrings would look perfect.
Blue â?? with a blue dress, silver jewellery would look great.
Grey â?? a steel grey coloured dress would really benefit yourself if you contrasted it with black or silver dainty jewellery. If you go for black jewellery, then wear a chunky necklace and a bracelet to match.
Patterned â?? if youâ??re wearing a patterned dress, try and pick out a colour in the dress and accessorise with this colour jewellery. If not then wear silver or gold to complete your look.
Flowery â?? if your dress has flowers over it then add simple jewellery to the outfit. Steer clear of flowery jewellery otherwise you will be overdoing the look.
2011 is set to be a great year for fashion and beauty and will see many different trends returning to the shops that were popular many years ago. So if you still have that flowery dress or the polka dot cardigan you once hated; then get them out of your wardrobe and get ready for the season of style.
Letâ??s stay one step ahead and check out 5 of the best trends to look out for in 2011.
Simply Dotty
Youâ??ve guessed it, next year sees the rise of polka dots again, popular back in the 60s, 2011 brings back lots of dotty garments. If you are not confident enough to wear a polka dot dress to a party; be it a birthday party or garden party, then try accessorizing with smaller dotty designs. Go for a silky, polka dot scarf to wrap around a plain coloured top. A black and white scarf would look great over a plain black t-shirt or long sleeved top. For a totally different effect, why not tie a thin spotty scarf to your bag.
Nautical
What with nautical being popular last year, it is set to be popular once again next year. So if you already have some nautical style clothes, dig them back out of your wardrobe, ready for next year. Nautical stripes tend to be blue and white and red and white and this ladies striped top is an easy way to wear the trend; however donâ??t feel like you have to stick to those two colours. Now, we see black and white also becoming popular. Maybe some ballerina style pumps with a nautical style on would suit you, rather than the clothes garments.
Parisian
Mixing femininity with pretty pastel colours will be another big hit next year. Try accessorising with decorated extras such as a thick tweed jacket, which sits in just at the hips and complete the look with a longer length scarf just draped around the neck. Smaller style handbags to carry down by your side are a popular choice with this look.
Scallop Detailing
Try wearing a blouse with a simple scalloped collar, which will make you look and feel ultra feminine. Sometimes you will see jumpers with a scalloped collar in white, whereas the rest of the jumper is actually in pink, this is a great idea if you want to contrast your clothes without overdoing your style.
A Budding Romance
Perhaps youâ??re going out for a special occasion? A hot trend for next year is soft appliqué dresses, dress them up for a perfect evening out with friends and family, or you can even dress them down and team them up with a pair of chunky boots, perfect for a shopping trip or school run. Accessorising with flowers will be popular too, so why not get a few clip in flowers that you can clip into your hair for a special night out. Or, buy a flowered corsage to attach to a plain black suit jacket for added colour and femininity.
