New Year’s Eve Party Toppers: Your Crowning Moment

I love any party where not only is a headpiece acceptable but welcomed (you could say I’m fascinated with fascinators – pun intended!), and there’s no celebration better at that than New Year’s Eve. I’m already planning my outfit for the evening, the one time of year when everyone is wearing something on their heads. To say that most of the hats are chic, though, would be a lie. So ditch the cheesy tinsel and confetti-strewn toppers for something that will make a stylish statement. The more outrageous the better (within fashionable reason, of course)! Shop headband hair accessories on Farfetch…

Clemmie Watson Feather Headband ($850): While side-swept pheasant feathers offer up a throwback feel, the silver spikes and textured leather headband are distinctly 2014.

Gigi Burris Millinery Inclination Headband ($228.80): Lady Gaga is a fan of New York-based designer Gigi Burris, but for something less Art Pop and more elegant, this felt and feather-accented headband is perfect.

Benoit Missolin Glittered Stars Headband ($185.39): This is an example of something you can really only wear on New Year’s Eve (or on Halloween) – take advantage!

Corina Haywood Feather Fascinator ($200): An elasticized band promises you can dance the night away without fear of losing your headwear in the process.

Corina Haywood Cavern Fascinator ($225): This is the jaw-dropper. Prepare for the Ball to drop with a ball of finely shaped acrylic mesh.
