Topping off an ensemble with the perfect accessory can make a big difference when it comes to style. Hats have a multifunctional nature that allows them to easily fit into casual and formal silhouettes but the elements of a hat need to be tied back to the overall. For instance, a fancy attire in bright colors cannot be paired with a bucket hat or baseball cap, rather a hatband or Panama hat will do.
When choosing hat styles, you have to consider where you’re going and what kind of you look you are going for plus the shape of your face.
The best hat for your face type.
- 1. Oval
Oval-shaped faces typically have a wider forehead than the chin, with more curves to the side of the face. The best hat type for oval faces is wide brim hats. - 2. Heart
If you’ve got a heart-shaped face, then building your hat collection should be much easier than the rest. A cowboy hat looks offers a great balance for a heart-shaped face. - 3.Square
Square faces are typically characterized by a forehead, cheekbones, and jawline of equal proportion. For square faces, slouchy and soft styles like berets and beanies help soften your features. - 4.Round
If the width and length of your face are about equal, and you have prominent, rounded cheeks, you most likely have a round-shaped face. For a round face, go for asymmetrical shapes or slant a straight-brimmed hat into a cool angle to balance out your roundness. Fedora hats look great on round faces.
