Face shapes can be – oval, round, square or heart-shaped.
Finding the right hat can be as difficult as finding a good pair of jeans as the process is unique to your features and personal style. Once you work out which styles suit you best, you’re on your way to finding the ultimate wardrobe staple.
Almost any hat style works well for oval faces, so experiment with different shapes and sizes to match your hat to your outfit or mood. An additional consideration is the overall proportion of the hat to your body. Your face size, hair volume, height and body shape all play a role in finding the right hat.
Hats for round face shapes will include wide brimmed hats like boaters, fedora or trilby with a wide brim, a tall top hat or high crown hat are good options. The hat should be worn at a comfortable angle, traditionally tilted towards the right side.
Hats for square faces. Wear hats with rounded or curved edges to soften strong angles and create flattering, soft shapes. Hats with wide brims balance out the proportions of a square face to give the illusion of a slightly longer face. Hats with round crowns , such as a cloche hat can also create a softer look to balance sharp features.
Heart-shaped faces typically look stunning in hats with a medium brim that is wider at the bottom which will help balance the proportions of the face.
Confidence is the most important guide when choosing and wearing a hat.
