Finishing Touches
No occasion outfit is truly complete without a matching bag, fascinator or hat. It doesn’t have to be the same shade as many work well with a range of colour combinations. Pinks, blue, champagne and ivory are universally popular for special event dressing. Black too is a great all rounder that will compliment many looks. The large swirl disc fascinator is a modern type of headwear that can be worn to formal affairs, race days and weddings.
