The Perfect Hat

Luckily colder weather is in the forecast. This means you keep your favorite scarf in tow, and you’ve got matching shoes and complementary bags to boot. There’s something missing, though: the perfect hat! The right hat brings something special to the table of every fashionista. It brings a polished look to your outfit and becomes your own personal iconic fashion statement. So don’t forget yours as you style your outfits for the coming year.

BAKER BOY HAT FEDORA HAT

Square-shaped faces are typically characterized by a forehead, cheekbones, and jawline of equal proportion. When it comes to finding a hat for this face shape, a Baker Boy hat is great for a square face. Shop for men’s Baker Boy hats to get the oversize look. Square faces can also show off the latest hat trend: the beret. Slouchy and soft styles like berets and beanies will soften your features, whereas anything too angular will compete with your jawline and come across too strong. Check out Gucci’s leather berets for a chic beret update. If the width and length of your face is about equal, and you have prominent, rounded cheeks, you might have a Round-shaped face. If your face is round, go for asymmetrical shapes or slant a straightbrimmed hat into a cool angle to balance out your roundness. Avoid beanies or anything slouchy that doesn’t hold its shape. If this is impossible, wear them pushed back on your head. A Fedora is best on a round or square face.

BERET HAT COWBOY HAT

If you have a Heart-shaped face, you will also look good in lots of hat styles. If you do want to balance out a wider forehead and a narrow chin, then you will want to avoid wide-brimmed styles, which will emphasize the triangular shape of your face. Instead, you could try Bucket hats or Beret. Wear you Beret in the Kenzo college look this fall and be on trend! A person with an Oval-shaped face enjoys the versatility of choice, as an oval face goes with nearly any style. Oval-shaped faces typically have a wider forehead than the chin, with more curves to the side of the face. A cowboy hat—any hat with a wide brim to cut across your forehead and balance out the length of your face. Pair it with a cool prairie dress, and you’re good to go — also looks cute with a jean dress and boots.
