How To Pick The Right Hat For Your Face Shape

Hats have been around since the beginning of time.  Of course back in the old days, people would wear hats to actually keep their heads warm and protected from environmental elements.  Once we evolved into civilized human beings, hats started becoming a fashion statement and even a symbol of status.  Now, for the most part, it's another accessory to add into your wardrobe.  But what are some things you have to consider when purchasing a hat?  How is it that hats can look so cute, and other times, leave you looking like a paperboy (or is this just me?).  When choosing the right hat or cap for you, it's important to consider the shape of your face.

Hats For A Round Shaped Face
To keep your head from looking like a perfect sphere, go for something asymmetrical with a high crown. Try slanting your hats forward and going for neat, clean styles to give your face more angles. That way people won't be tempted to use your head as a crystal ball. Has this happened to me before? Yes. Thank goodness I have friends who love me though. I encourage friends not letting friends walk around looking like they have a basketball for a head.

 

Hats For An Oval Shaped Face
You oval face fashioninstas look good in almost any hat. Just make sure to pull the hat correctly over your forehead and tilt it on different sides. I don't have many tips for the oval faces because they can pull of so many cute hats I wish I could wear.....you guys are a bunch of pretty jerks....

 

Hats For A Square Shaped Face
So this face shape is opposite from mine. Choose hats that have curvy lines and are soft and feminine to lessen all of the angles. You also look better with large brim and upturned brim hats. Go big and floppy like J.Lo.

 

Hats For A Long Shaped Face
For the women rockin the longer faces, you need sharp, clean styles. Wear it straight and forward to cut the length of your face. Also, go for wide brims with low crowns -- hats that cover your forehead to look sleek, stylish and mysterious.

Whatever your face shape, hats and caps are a great way to "top" off your outfit.  People instantly feel like you know what you're doing when you coordinate your outfit with a hat.  It's the perfect accessory, especially if you're having a bad hair day...no one will ever know!  Well, that is until some guy is picking on you and pulls your hat off to reveal hat hair -- which by the way, is so flat to your head, you look like you have a comb over.  But trust me, that's his way of flirting.  How come no one has told these guys that girls don't like getting picked on, poked or picked up?  Even if that does mean you're flirting.  It's so weird and we don't get it.....well, that's another post.
