Which hat or cap suits my face shape?

The hat is a very personality-dependent invention. It can significantly change the appearance of the wearer: it can enhance or ruin the overall look.
The first thing is that the hat or cap should always match your outfit.

When choosing a hat or cap, you should also take into account the features of your face! If your features are soft and delicate, choose finer materials and prefer rounded shapes. If your features are more defined, wear straight hats with flatter tops.
Everything from tiny hats to huge hats look good on people with elongated faces. But don’t go for a tall hat if your face is too elongated, as it will stretch the face further, opt for a lower, round-brimmed hat instead.
If your head is too broad, don’t pull the hat into the forehead, but wear it backwards to elongate and thin the overall look of your face.
If your face shape is too round, you need a hat that is wider than your face shape to optically thin out the roundness of your lines. It is recommended to use some kind of decoration on the hat to attract attention and the eye.
Ladies with an oval face look good with a thinner hat or cap that can be pulled over the head. Of course, a hat with a deep brim also needs a lady with an oval chin.
For those with a rounder chin, a flat-topped hat is preferable, one that doesn’t cover the face, making it appear longer. For those with a more angular face, a hat with a rounder headpiece is preferable as it softens the features.
If your face is too angular, wear your hat at an angle, asymmetrically, to distract attention from your protruding, angular cheekbones.

What aspects should be considered when buying a hat?

Even your height should be taken into account when choosing a hat or cap.
Another basic rule is that a very tall woman should not wear a tiny hat or cap on her head. And a hat with a large brim is not suitable for a short figure.
Remember, we are the only ones who know our own identity. Because an extreme hat or cap may look great on a model, but if we don’t know how to wear it, it will ruin our look. The same goes for overly trendy pieces. But if we find a hat or cap that suits our wardrobe, our taste and our personality, it will be the crowning glory of our outfit.

Other important things to know about hats, caps…

There are hats and caps that fit almost every face shape perfectly. These are mainly round or straight tops with a low headband.

It is very important to always wear your hat in a chic way.

Our hair style also influences the choice of hat: for elegant and casual hats, we always wear our hair up, even if it is long. If you wear a knitted or straw hat, long hair looks perfect underneath.

Always compare the size of your hat or cap to your body proportions. If you are shorter, choose a hat with a smaller brim, if you are taller, feel free to wear a hat with a larger brim.

A properly worn hat or cap improves posture and gives the wearer the elegance they need, and contrary to popular belief, it does not diminish but enhances stature and self-confidence.

Most importantly, we should always take care that the hats and caps we choose and wear always enhance and never detract from our appearance.
