Choosing a Hat

Expert Recommendations.

There are several basic recommendations as to how to choose a hat that will suit your face and figure and will harmonize with your attire.

Thus, for example, if you have a triangular face, you should pay attention to hats with little brims: try on a cloche hat or a Panama hat with shallow crowns, as both styles will give you a look of mysteriousness and visually smooth out your angular cheekbones. If you have a roundish face, you can choose a hat of any style but please follow the iron rule: the crown of the hat must be as wide as the area of your face where it is the widest. This will help to make your face look longer and more oval.
If your temples and cheekbones are rather square, you have to choose rounded or asymmetrical hats to soften your features. Also, asymmetrical hats become those whose face is a bit elongate or their features are asymmetrical, since a hat worn to one side or having a large decorative element on one side will make your face look more attractive. Most ladies are oval-faced, and stylists offer them more freedom in choosing their style: well, they can choose practically any style.

As for choosing a hat to match your figure, it is important to find the harmony of sizes. Graceful maidens should purchase small-sized hats, with little brims and shallow crowns. Ladies with ample curves have every reason to wear hats with wide brims.

If you are looking for a hat for some special event, that is for a wedding, an exclusive photo session, participation in a lady’s hat contest during a horse race, you can safely choose headgear of an unconventional design, with original elements of decoration. But if you are looking for headgear to be worn regularly, then you should choose some practical style and colour to become most of your suits.

The simplest way to identify if a hat suits a particular outfit is to wear it with the attire that you are going to wear it with, and then look in the mirror. The hat perfectly chosen to match the style of a suit or a dress usually forms a harmonious composition with clothes and the rest of accessories: it should be matching in colour even if its colour is not the same; so, if a hat is of a bright colour, it must be accentuated and not turn into a bright provocative spot.
