Method 4 of 4: General Rules for Wearing a Hat
Step 1. Choose a hat that fits your measurements
If you are small, a huge hat with giant brims may be far too much for you. Instead of using the size of the hat to give a message, choose one with bold colors or bright brims instead.
Step 2. Choose a hat that makes your haircut stand out
You can wear a hat on the side and on the opposite side make yourself a bun. This will make your neck look longer.
Step 3. Wear a hat that fits your face shape
- If you have a round face, choose a hat with a wide brim to balance the fullness of your face
- If you have an elongated face, choose a softer design or something with movement, such as feathers.
- For a square face, choose an asymmetrical hat that balances the angle of the jaw line.
- People with heart-shaped faces are the luckiest. They can wear almost any type of hat.
Step 4. Choose colors that go well with your skin
If you have a bold colored hat, use little makeup so you don't look like a clown.
Step 5. Match the hat to the clothes
If you're wearing a dress with a peacock pattern, try a bold headdress with a peacock feather to unify the two. However, if the hat is bold, do not overdo it with accessories, such as jewelry, so as not to look tacky.
Step 6. Attach the hat to your head
It might seem like obvious advice, but the last thing you want to do is spend the day holding the hat on your head. Use thin rubber bands, bows, or combs to keep it in place.
