THRIFTY TRICK

Looking forward to a wedding or race day where a department store fascinator just won’t do? Rather than splashing out on a new hat, consider searching second-hand designer sites (check out Vestiaire Collective and HEWI London) or hiring headgear. GetAheadHats.co.uk and The Hat Club offer a huge range of hats for hire. Get Ahead Hats charges £50 to £150, while The Hat Club hire costs £20 to £100 plus postage.
