At Tocados y Abalorios we like to advise our clients in the most appropriate way, which is why we will focus on providing a series of tips.

Also, depending on the colors used, it will favor in one way or another in accordance with the hair color of the person wearing it; light fascinators favor people with brown or dark hair more, while dark ones favor blondes. The easiest option to make this type of fascinator is the following: choose the raffia fabric that best suits the outfit, taking into account; colors, style, cut, etc. Overlapping will be done on the fabric, forming intermediate loops and, in this way, joining them together with hot silicone, looking something like this: In addition to this option, there are similar alternatives that can provide the same function as the fascinator being discussed. A simpler model would be a good option to wear outside of bridal events such as a communion, a formal dinner... Otherwise, another option would be headbands or satin ribbons. Originality is essential when wearing a fascinator, especially if it is someone close to you. To follow the trend of the season, try breaking the color scheme of the outfit and opting for a different color than the dress: the result will be much more 'chic' and sophisticated. It is advisable to use larger fascinators of this type during the day, and smaller ones at night. In the event that we are talking about a wedding or an eventual event of similar etiquette. One disadvantage of wearing other types of fascinators is that, for example, wide-brimmed hats are only suitable for events held in the morning or during the day. Protocol dictates that if the head is covered, the hands must be covered, usually wearing only one glove and holding the other in the same hand as the clutch. When greeting with a wide-brimmed hat, the correct etiquette is to courteously extend your hand. This type of fascinator should not be removed, because, in addition to not causing any discomfort due to its lightness when worn, if it is to be done, it should be done after the bridal dance (in the case of a wedding) or after the main event (in the case of an event). A fascinator, whether made of raffia, lace, or with floral adornments, is always a final touch that will capture all eyes at the event in question. After all these tips on how, when, and in what way it is advisable to wear this type of fascinator, we hope that it will inspire you for the next events you have to attend, and that you always think of Tocados y Abalorios as an escape, choosing from our wide variety and style.
