How to choose a hat

Most men and women underestimate the importance of such an important part of the wardrobe as hats - one does not like the way they look, others just never tried to add caps, berets and other types of hats to their image. But the problem in both cases lies only in the inability to properly choose a hat according to the shape of the face - this is the main difficulty, which many, alas, are not able to overcome on their own. That is why now we will thoroughly understand this issue so that after reading the article you can freely diversify your wardrobe with several stylish hats.

How to choose a hat on the shape of the face

Let's look at each face shape separately and immediately give tips on choosing hats for a particular type.

1. Round face. The round shape of the face is characterized by the same height and width, full rounded cheeks, narrow chin and a fairly prominent forehead. People with round faces when choosing a hat need to get rid of the perfect symmetry inherent in nature.

2. Oval face. The cheekbones are pronounced in the upper point, smoothly falling down (smoothed) to the chin, which is inferior in width to the frontal part. This type of face is considered the most universal of all: absolutely all hats are suitable for people with an oval face, there are no restrictions on the shape of the crown, the width of the fields and their length. Experiment!

3. Square face. All features are proportional, the forehead is low, the cheekbones are wide, but not too prominent, a well-marked chin line. If you recognize yourself in this description, then when choosing a hat, set a goal to soften the angularity: measure hats with a rounded low crown and fields; on the side.

4. Rectangular face. Well-marked outstanding cheekbones, jaw is long, forehead wide and high. Trying on hats, people with a rectangular face should completely forget about those models that additionally “lengthen” the face. The classic “Fedora” perfectly demonstrates an option that is suitable for you: a low crown and a medium-sized field, diverging in different directions.

5. Triangular (heart-shaped) face. A rather narrow chin and at the same time an outstanding forehead, cheekbones are also clearly visible. When choosing a hat for a triangular face, you need to keep only one rule in mind: hats with miniature cords do not suit you at all, make sure that the length of the crown is greater than the distance between your cheekbones.

6. Pear-shaped face. The main features of this form - wide jaw and cheekbones, moderately narrow forehead. Owners of pear-shaped faces need to balance the width of the forehead, which means to pay attention to the hats, devoid of sharp corners.

We looked at six basic types of persons and gave advice on choosing hats for each of them: owning the information provided, you can easily choose the right option - you only need to experiment a bit, and to do this, often visit stores that sell hats.
