This tailored minimal boater hat is has a short enough crown it can almost be considered a fascinator – we’ll call it a boater fascinator to cover all bases! The slightly curved brim gives it a subtly feminine charm, and the shorter brim at the back brings practicality without taking from the drama of the front and sides.

Royal Ascot has named ‘Tomato Red’ it’s colour of the year 2026, which was the inspiration for this red fascinator hat, suitable for a wedding, Mother of the Bride, or indeed Royal Ascot.
