Feathers or Fail

Over the years, a number of different accessories have come into the fashion limelight for making your hair as fashionable as the rest of you. Fake pony tails, highlights, and other accessories have all come and gone. This year, it's time for feathers to take their turn as the must have fashion accessory.

Feathers are a little trickier to work with than the average fashion accessory. They easily become messed up, and they can also look inexpensive or messy with little effort. Knowing how to wear feathers requires a little know how to avoid making a fashion fail.

Match the Feather Style with Your Hair Style

Feathers can make a striking addition to a Roksanda Illincic ensemble, but they can also make it look trashy or out of place. One of the most important things is to make sure that the feather matches your hair style. This means that you should use straight feathers for straight air and curly feathers for curly hair. Don't try to mix this up. 

Get Contrasting Colors

Never choose a feather that matches your hair color. This is the perfect way to make your hair look like it's been damaged. Instead, choose a contrasting color. While you should make sure that the color of the feather coordinates with your outfit, it is more important to contrast the feather with your hair color than your outfit. Blondes need to avoid yellows and creams while brunettes need to avoid browns and blacks. Redheads should avoid oranges and reds and individuals with black hair should avoid black and deep purple or blue. These colors will all match too closely. 

Snakeskin Feathers Are a No

One of the cheaper options for feather extensions is the speckled feathers. These feathers have sometimes become known as snakeskin feathers. Even if you're pairing it with the classiest Roksanda Illincic outfit, speckled feathers look as if they are little snakes hanging from your hair. It's difficult to pull them off, and it's better to avoid using them entirely.

Wear Under Your Hair Rather Than Over

It takes a certain amount of style and class to pull off a Roksanda Illincic outfit, and it likewise takes some know how to wear feathers in your hair correctly and without looking like a juvenile. One of the best ways to avoid the immature look is to fasten the feather under your hair and towards the nape of your neck. This makes it look more natural and discrete rather than an attention grabber.
