What is Braid?

A braid (also referred to as a plait) is a complex structure or pattern formed by interlacing two or more strands of flexible material such as textile yarns, wire, or hair. Braids are wonderful for jazzing up a brim, providing a lovely finish on the inside of a fascinator, or adding decorative detail to hat bands. They simply make a wonderful finish to any hat or fascinator.

Why Choose ZigZag Braid?

The zigzag pattern creates visual movement and energy that draws the eye and adds contemporary flair. Unlike traditional straight or curved trims, the angular zigzag design brings a modern, graphic quality to millinery. This versatile trim works beautifully on both bold statement pieces and as an unexpected detail on classic designs, adding personality and visual interest.

How to Use

Measure the area you wish to trim and cut braid to length, adding 2-3cm for overlap. Position the zigzag braid carefully, ensuring the pattern runs consistently in the desired direction. For hat bands, the zigzag creates dynamic horizontal movement. For brim edges, it adds energetic detail. Hand stitch in place using small stitches hidden within the zigzag pattern, or use strong adhesive for no-sew application.

Design Tips

Zigzag braid creates maximum impact when used in contrasting colors—black zigzag on white creates bold graphic appeal, while tone-on-tone creates subtle textured interest. The pattern works particularly well on structured, geometric millinery where the angular design complements clean lines. For retro 1960s-70s inspired designs, zigzag braid is essential for authentic period styling.

Color & Pattern Coordination

Use zigzag braid to introduce a secondary color into your design—if your hat is solid colored, choose zigzag braid in a complementary or contrasting shade. The geometric pattern pairs beautifully with other angular elements like pleated ribbons, structured sinamay, or geometric embellishments. Avoid combining with too many competing patterns—let the zigzag be the star.
