Most people have a hard time buying a hat. When it is on the mannequin it looks absolutely amazing and very chic, while worn it happens, not without pain, to realize that it is not good, getting stuck in the vicious circle that every hat looks strange or stupid on one's head. Unfortunately, you risk getting into the paranoia of the hat. However, it's time to turn the page and tackle this problem. By choosing one that suits your face shape, you can add a special and particular touch to your appearance.
Steps
Method 1 of 6: Long or Rectangular Face
Step 1. Check if you have this type of face
It is characterized by a high forehead, a short jaw line and an elongated shape.
Step 2. Choose a suitable hat
Try a model with a wide brim and a low crown (dome), such as a sun hat, cloche or borsalino with a wide brim. The wide brim could compensate for the pronounced length of the face. A cloche, carried low to the eyebrows, can help hide the high forehead and, by magic, give the impression of having a shorter forehead. The wide brim of the borsalino also counterbalances the vertical lines.
Step 3. Avoid hats with high crowns that elongate the face even more
Method 2 of 6: Heart-Shaped Face
Step 1. Recognize if your face is heart-shaped
It is characterized by a broad forehead, pronounced cheekbones and pointed chin. The chin is the narrowest part of this type of face.
Step 2. Try a model you give yourself
Choose hats with a medium brim, such as a medium-brimmed hat, a boater, a cloche, a homburg model, a beret, a beret or a toque model. These are all great choices. This type of hat balances the width of the forehead and prevents the jaw line from looking short. By tilting the hat to the side, you will thin your face and draw attention to the eyes. In fact, any model fits on your face except those that have rather large brims.
Step 3. Avoid models that accentuate shapes
Stay away from wide brims that highlight the forehead and narrow the chin.
Method 3 of 6: Square Face
Step 1. Observe the proportions of your face
In the square shaped face the length is almost equal to the width. The distance from the forehead to the chin and the distance from one cheek to the other are equal. The broad forehead and pronounced chin are the main features of the square-shaped face.
Step 2. Try the circular patterns
The defined and symmetrical face needs a hat with circular features to soften the features. The round crown and brim are the trick, as they soften the square face and give the illusion that it is longer and rounder. Opt for a sun hat, cowboy hat, homburg style, cloche or toque style for a flirty, feminine touch. The beret lengthens and softens the contour of the face. By bringing the hat tilted to the side, you will break the symmetry of the square face. A sun hat with a pair of sunglasses and a long flowing dress will add a chic touch to your look. It is the perfect combination for your beach holidays.
Step 3. Don't wear a hat with a short brim, no brim or a boxy brim
These models will highlight the angular shape of the face.
Method 4 of 6: Oval Face
Step 1. Check if you have an oval-shaped face
If so, it will look like an egg. The cheeks are broad, the forehead is low and the jaw line is slightly shorter. The forehead is also a bit wider than the chin.
Step 2. Feel free to try on all kinds of hats
You are lucky and you can wear all the models you like. Wear whatever hat is in harmony with the mood of the day as long as it matches the clothing you're wearing. Also try earrings, necklace and bracelet. Oval-faced women can afford any type of hat.
The possibilities are endless. It depends on your personal preferences
Method 5 of 6: Round Face
Step 1. Check if you have a round face
It is characterized by a round chin, full cheeks and a circular hairline. It makes you look younger than the other shapes.
Step 2. Add some asymmetry to your appearance
You can perfectly wear a borsalino, a newsboy hat or a baseball cap. The symmetrical face needs more angularity, or an asymmetry that gives grace to the rounded lines, streamlining them. Therefore, the main goal is to choose a hat that helps take people's attention away from the curves of the face and soften the first impression of the chubby and short face. So, you would do well to choose a hat with a high crown and a straight brim in order to give the face a more angular air. Also, carried tilted forward, it makes the face stand out and gives a little definition.
Step 3. Avoid circular crowns that accentuate the roundness of the face
Method 6 of 6: Triangular Face
Step 1. Consider if you have a triangular-shaped face
This type of face is also known as a pear-shaped face, which is a little longer than it is wide. The low forehead widens from the cheekbone to the chin. The chin is the widest part, sometimes angular, others rounded.
Step 2. Feel free to try on different hats
A triangular face is like an oval face, so the alternatives between hats are practically endless. Make sure that the hat balances the line of the shoulders and emphasizes the garments you wear.
