Autumn and Winter racing events have a very different look and feel to Spring. Darker tones, heavier fabrics and structured silhouettes dominate winter race-day fashion. This collection of Autumn & Winter fascinators is designed specifically for that season, offering elegant, structured and statement-making headpieces suited to cooler temperatures and more formal winter outfits.

These winter fascinators are created using materials that hold shape and structure in colder conditions, such as felt bases, thicker sinamay, pleated fabrics and textured trims. Expect deeper colours, rich jewel tones, crisp black and white combinations, and classic neutral shades that work with coats, blazers and tailored winter dresses.

This range includes premium Australian-made racing fascinators from Fillies Collection, as well as statement pieces by Max Alexander, both widely recognised for their quality, structure and race-day suitability. Each piece is selected for strong visual impact, all-day wearability and suitability for Fashions on the Field competitions.

If you are attending a winter racing event and want a polished, appropriate headpiece, explore our Fillies Collection fascinators for timeless, elegant designs, or our Max Alexander fascinators for bolder, fashion-driven shapes.

These are not mass-produced accessories. Each fascinator in this category is chosen for design, quality and structure — ensuring you look refined, race-appropriate and confident throughout the day.
