What Is The Best Hat Shape For You?

• Long Face – Have a long and slender face? Ladies hats with flared brims such as wide brim fedoras, cloches or newsboys are ideal for you. They cover great part of the forehead and will make your face look shorter. Stay away from narrow brim hats because they will make your face look longer than it actually is.
• Round
 Face – If you have a round face, go with asymmetrical shaped hats with slanted and peaked brim. To add more asymmetry to your face, you can also slant your hat forward. Stay away from hats with tall and round crowns, because they will emphasize your round face.
• Square Face – Choose a hat that will give an illusion of soft edges and small jaw. You can choose large brims and rounded crown hats in order to make an ilusion of long face with soft lines. Because of their soft design, floppy hats will be perfect for your square face. Choose a hat that doesn’t cover your forehead in order to make your face look longer.
• Small Face – If you didn’t know, there is a golden rule for people with small faces: “Stay true to your proportions”. As we already know, women with large faces shouldn’t wear tiny hats, ergo women with small faces shouldn’t wear large hats. Stay away from floppy ladies hats and consider cloches, fedoras, and the pillbox type of women’s hats.

Take the measuring tape and measure the circumference of your head. Hold the measuring tape right above the ears, but make sure it is not too tight.
