Most men and women underestimate the importance of such an important part of the wardrobe as hats – some do not like the way they look in them, others just have never tried to add baseball caps, berets and other types of hats to their image. But the problem in both cases lies only in the inability to choose the right hat according to the shape of the face – this is the main difficulty that many, alas, are not able to overcome on their own. That is why now we will understand this issue in detail, so that after reading the article, you can freely diversify your wardrobe with several stylish hats.
How to choose a hat according to your face shape
Let's take a look at each face shape separately and immediately give advice on the selection of hats for a particular type.
-
Round face. The round face is characterized by the same height and width, full rounded cheeks, a narrow chin and a fairly prominent forehead. For people with round faces, when choosing a hat, you need to get rid of the ideal symmetry inherent in them by nature.
-
Oval face. The cheekbones are pronounced at the top point, smoothly fall (smoothed out) 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 shape, there are no restrictions on the shape of the crown, the width of the brim and their length. Experiment!
-
Square face. All features are proportional, the forehead is low, the cheekbones are wide, but not too prominent, the jawline is clearly visible. 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 brim, for men, for example, all kinds of cowboy hats will be very relevant, for women – berets, especially if you wear them slightly on the side.
-
Rectangular face. Well visible prominent cheekbones, long jaw, broad and high forehead. When trying on hats, people with a rectangular face should completely forget about those models that additionally 'lengthen' the face. The classic 'fedora' perfectly demonstrates the option that suits you: a low crown and medium-sized fields, diverging in different directions.
-
Triangular (heart-shaped) face. A fairly narrow chin and at the same time a prominent forehead, cheekbones are also clearly visible. When choosing a hat for a triangular face, you need to keep in mind just one rule: hats with miniature crowns will not suit you at all, make sure that the length of the crown is greater than the distance between your cheekbones.
-
Pear-shaped face. The main features of this shape are a wide jaw and cheekbones, a moderately narrow forehead. Owners of pear-shaped faces need to balance the width of the forehead, which means – pay attention to hats that are devoid of sharp corners.
We looked at six main types of faces and gave tips on choosing hats for each of them: knowing the information provided, you can easily find the right one – you just need to experiment a little, and for this, visit the stores that sell hats more often.
How to choose a hat for a man
If women have no problems with hats (at least they wear them from time to time!), Then modern men are doing much worse – even being adherents of classic costumes, many of them do not recognize hats at all. We propose to consider three types of men's hats that are most often bought in stores today – looking closely, you will see that they are truly personable and elegant.
-
Homburg. This is a hat with a small crease at the top and has a smooth rounded crown decorated with a ribbon. Most often it is made initially very dense, the material is felt – it is customary to wear it in the fall, mainly on cold days. This is Winston Churchill's favorite hat shape.
-
Fedor. The most popular hat today, fits both classic suits and just casual clothes – incredibly popular among celebrities: classic 'fedoras' are worn by Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Jason Statham and others. The hat is easily recognizable by the 'three dents' and a small ribbon on the crown, and can be worn any season.
-
Porkpie. Low crown and very small brim – this hat will appeal to men who value laconic dress. It is made in both soft and hard versions – respectively for warm and cold weather. Porkpai are worn only with classic suits, it goes well with a coat and long raincoats.
Naturally, the list of popular men's hats does not end with these three options, but homburg, fedora and porkpai are what men who wear hats in one way or another are guaranteed to have in their wardrobe. Take a closer look at these options, perhaps one of them will soon be yours and then, believe me, it will be impossible to part with the hat!
How to choose a beach hat

Summer is the time of the year, which categorically makes its own adjustments to the wardrobe of each person. In summer, a headdress becomes not one of the formative elements of the style, it becomes a necessity – a summer hat literally makes it easier to be under the bright scorching sun. All this means that even if you do not like hats, in the summer you will have to make an exception, which means that everyone should learn how to choose hats. Now we will consider several important points that you should definitely pay attention to when choosing the right model of a summer hat.
-
Material. Only natural ingredients, preferably those that do not deteriorate when wet, as happens with ordinary straws. Almost anything will suit you, from palm leaves to cotton and flax. In summer, artificial materials are doubly dangerous, they are often the cause of heatstroke, so don't even think about this option.
-
Colour. Opt for light colored hats as they heat up more slowly than darker shades. The quality of the dye also plays a big role: cheap textile paint will instantly color your scalp, especially if you sweat, which often happens in summer. Do not buy cheap hats, and even if you have already bought them, check in advance the quality of the coloring with a warm, damp cloth, and then put on the hats.
-
The size. In the summer, the body experiences a water imbalance, in other words, 'swells', which means that you need to choose a hat half the size – it will not create discomfort, but on a hot day it will literally save you from imprints on the scalp.
Having carefully read all the information provided, you are guaranteed to be able to buy yourself a stylish and comfortable hat, which will definitely become one of the integral parts of your wardrobe!
