Picking a hat for your face shape is similar to picking a pair of sunglasses. Always remember to consider proportions. Larger hats look better on men with larger heads, while larger hats on men with smaller heads can sometimes look overwhelming so it’s very important to consider both head size and men’s face shapes before purchasing.
Tips on Choosing the Right Hat for Your Face Shape
- Hats with a flat brim will draw in more attention to your face by acting as a frame. If your cheeks are a little rounder, a tight fitting baseball cap can accentuate that feature. Try out a hat with a brim to make your cheeks look a little less round.
- Angular hats work well for those with a rounder face, so opt for a hat with a high crown, or a just slant your hat forward.
- If you have a square face, opt for a hat with a floppier fit, like a bowler, or a more organic fitting fedora.
- If you have a face that is longer than it is wide (so closer to an oval than a circle), opt for a hat with a flat brim. Hats like a wide-brim Panama or a flat top will compliment your face, while a hat with a short brim will elongate it.
- For a more accurate hat fit, measure around your head with a measuring tape. Hold the measuring tape just above where your hat would sit, so typically right above your ears. Feel free to head into your local hat shop to try a few sizes!
