Blue is one of the most flattering colours you can wear near your face, and a blue fascinator is a beautiful alternative to the reds and pinks you see everywhere in spring. From soft turquoise to deep royal blue, it reads as fresh, confident and elegant.
Our handmade White Blue Women Headpiece layers sculpted teal, turquoise and navy satin leaves with crisp white accents on a royal blue band. Here is how to style it for the races, weddings and high tea.
- Design: sculpted satin leaves with white accents on a royal blue band
- Colours: teal, turquoise, navy, royal blue and white
- Best for: Melbourne Cup, weddings, high tea, summer events
- Handmade in Queensland by Nancy Niepess Fashion
Why Blue Works So Well at the Races
Blue sits beautifully against the green lawns and red roses of an Australian racecourse, so it photographs brilliantly. Mixing several blues in one piece, as this headpiece does, adds depth and lets you match it to almost any blue, white or neutral outfit.
The sculpted satin leaves give the headpiece real dimension. Each leaf catches the light differently, so the colours shift from turquoise to teal as you move.
How to Style the White Blue Headpiece
Crisp blue and white
A white dress with blue heels or a blue clutch is a timeless race day combination. The white accents in the headpiece connect it to the dress for a clean, coordinated finish.
Tonal blue
Choose a cobalt, cornflower or navy dress and let the headpiece add lighter turquoise tones. Tonal dressing in blue looks modern and expensive.
Blue with yellow or coral
For a playful Stakes Day or summer wedding look, pair it with a mustard or coral dress. Complementary colours make each other brighter.
High tea and summer celebrations
Teal and turquoise feel especially fresh in warm weather. Try it with a white linen dress for a seaside wedding or a long lunch.
