Find the Perfect Hat for Your Face Shape
Swagger, panache, pizzazz, that je ne sais quoi—whatever you want to call it, style is in the details.
The right accessories are the things that set you apart from the crowd. And just what makes an accessory “right”?
How it complements you. Your style, your presence, your eye color, your proportions, and in the case of hats, your face shape.
How can you find hat styles that suit your face shape and head size? Right here, friend. We’ve got the goods on the best hat shapes for the face the good Lord gave you.
Round Faces
Round faces get an extra dose of dimension and intrigue from hat styles that add length, like The Teardrop. The tall crown and the elegant brim flatter and enhance the natural curves and sweetness of a round face. For ultimate sassiness, wear it cocked back in the western style.
Square Faces
If you’ve got a square face, your natural suaveness will look best with a hat style that mirrors your angles. The Bolero and The Boater are excellent choices—they both sport a crown with a flat top that balances your face shape. And brims are your best friend, so go for the widest ones possible.
Long-Shaped Faces
For a look that’s brimming with style (see what we did there?), we love going with extra wide brims for longer faces, since they add balance and a hint of boldness. The Teardrop does this best, and the tapered crown is the cherry on top.
Heart-Shaped faces
Add a little bit of an edge to your heart-shaped face with a wide-brimmed hat worn low on the forehead (aka the “city style” fit). The Classic is, well, a classic look that works perfectly and lends just the right amount of mystery to a face with a prominent forehead that tapers down to a refined chin.
Diamond Faces
High cheekbones and narrow chins are the calling cards of a diamond face and they look absolutely dazzling with short-brimmed hats that allow your natural dimensions to take center stage. The Teardrop and The Classic are your best bets, since they highlight your angles and create a sense of depth with their subtly indented crowns.
Oval Faces
If you’ve got an oval face, then congratulations—you are made to wear hats. Most styles look great on an oval face so don’t be afraid to experiment and switch up your look with a variety of hat styles. Wide or short brimmed, tapered or flat crown, try them all.
A final tip of the hat
When considering the best face shapes for hat styles, remember that the ultimate verdict on what looks best should come from you. No matter what you’re working with in terms of jawline, cheekbones, forehead, and chin, the right hat for you is the one that makes you feel unstoppable when you put it on.
So let your heart guide you as much as your head (and face), and don’t be afraid to ask for a second opinion. We can help you find a signature look that you’ll never want to take off. Drop us a line and let’s talk hats!
