Browns of Chester
Otherwise known as Debenhams on Eastgate Street, there is usually a range of hats and fascinators to choose from in the first floor department and if you are lucky enough to shop during a Blue X sale you might pick up a bargain. There is also a branch on the Coliseum Retail Park in Ellesmere Port.

British Home Stores and Marks & Spencer
If you haven’t even started with your outfit the Foregate Street stores not only stock a range of headgear but might be able to provide the dress, shoes and bag to match. There is also an outlet M&S store in Cheshire Oaks where you may pick up a bargain.
To Hire
Of course you don’t have to buy a hat. You could ask around friends and family to see if anyone would lend you the perfect match to your carefully chosen outfit or even try hiring one.
