From Winipedia: A fascinator is a headpiece, a style of millinery. The word originally referred to a fine, lacy head covering akin to a shawl and made from wool or lace. The term had fallen almost into disuse by the 1970s.[1]
In the early 21st century, the term has made a comeback, but the meaning has slightly changed; it is now used to describe a delicate, slightly-to-very frivolous head decoration worn almost exclusively by women. A fascinator may be worn instead of a hat to occasions where hats were traditionally worn -- such as weddings -- or as an evening accessory, when it may be called a cocktail hat. It is generally worn with fairly formal attire.
Modern fascinators are commonly made with feathers, flowers and/or beads. They attach to the hair by a comb, headband or clip. They are particularly popular at premium horse-racing events, such as the Grand National and the Melbourne Cup. Brides may choose to wear them as an alternative to a bridal veil or hat, particularly if their gowns are non-traditional.
However, remember....."Normal is NOT an Option" The Wildwoman Original Felted Wool and Vintage Lace Fascinator can be worn anytime you want with gowns or jeans. Rules do not apply in Wildwomanland.
