Thanks to those not content with the old tradition of sporting [elaborate hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyper-malone), these bits of headgear have been spun off into their own genre. The fascinators shown here are a blend of burlesque and pinup styles with a dash of Goth now and then. A few [flower and bow hair ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clementine-grove) are thrown in just to round out the collection. I am in love with the presentation from ‘Get Go Retro.’ The models are perfect! I can’t think of anyone wanting to emulate those airbrushed beauties of bygone times not wanting to pin, or tie, one of these [netted roses or tiny top hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinds-roses-collection) onto her head. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro-style Headpieces:** The rising popularity of retro-style headpieces presents an opportunity for fashion designers to create new and innovative versions of this classic accessory. - **Fascinators:** The growing demand for fascinators provides an opportunity for milliners to create unique designs that blend elements of burlesque, pin-up style, and gothic fashion. - **Hair Ornaments:** The resurgence of hair ornaments, such as flowers and bows, presents an opportunity for accessory designers to create modern and trendy versions of this classic fashion item. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend of retro-style headpieces and create new collections and designs for customers. - **Millinery:** The millinery industry can leverage the demand for fascinators and create unique and visually appealing headpieces. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can take advantage of the surge in popularity of hair ornaments and create contemporary versions of classic designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whisky-Holding Derby Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-lids.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Unique Elevated Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdive.md) - [Multi-Wear Hair Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truss-series-shippou.md) - [Festive Bridal Accessory Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-planning1.md) - [Whimsical Doll-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pidgin.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md) - [Nostalgic Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-90s-looks.md)
