Fascinators have received renewed attention this year, and are popular world wide. Fascinators are appropriate for many occasions throughout the year including weddings, church, teas, and other social gatherings. It is important though to chose your fascinator(s) wisely to consider the shape of your face, outfit, hairstyle, and more. Fortunately, you have many fascinator options from black owned brands.

I love fascinators and big hats! But, it’s so hard finding them, especially if you’re not shopping online. I have an event coming up in a couple months that requires a big hat! I will definitely try the companies that you suggested when it’s time to buy one! Thank you girl!
I never knew that’s what they were called! They are so beautiful. Now I know where to get them. Thank you!
Ooh you just gave me some inspiration for my Easter outfit! Thanks for compiling this list!
I remember my first fascinate. It was everything and nobody could tell me anything! I’m trying not to start a collection but I may just have to bite the bullet.
I love learning about Black owned businesses! Thanks for the tips!
