Is A Fascinator A Young Persons Item

[CrapAtCryptics]

My wifes swanning off to the Palace soon for afternoon tea with Maj as a recognition for her work commemorationg WW1. As a total fashion Philistine could someone advise me if fascinators are considered a younger persons accessory.

No, not particularly (I'm 20), you see women of all ages in them, I'm personally more of a hat fan for super formal things :) x

just been to a wedding where a lot of the older women (including grooms mum )wore them x

As a very much older person, I've no idea what a fascinator is - please enlighten me.

[mallyh]

No they are for all ages and for those that don't think they can where a hat.
Personally I prefer hats especially if going to the palace.
My husband calls them excitors!

Who's Maj?

[pastafreak]

I hate hats, so a bit of net fabric and a bow stuck on my head is fine. ;-)

Maj? ER

[elliemay1]

My husband jokingly calls them fantasisers!

[Sqad]

Thanks sandy....i guessed that after i had pressed the answer button.

Her Maj may have been better for someone like me.

They seem universal age wise, but to me a waste of time..wear a hat.... I love hats... Her Majesty always wears nice hats and the occasion is sufficiently formal...

My mum wore one for my sister s wedding it looked like avian roadkill, I had a huge lilac hat, but was still out hatted by a member of the groom's family who looked like a dark blue toadstool.

I think a hat is more appropriate for meeting the Queen at the Palace, but I guess it's a bit too late to worry about it now. Fascinators are ok for all ages, except me; I'd feel ridiculous in one, but then I would feel ridiculous wearing a hat too.
