Knowing your facial shape can make the difference between saying "yasss" or "yikes" and choosing the proper royal blue hat. However, the majority of face shapes can be categorized as round, long, oval, diamond, square, or heart-shaped, although there are countless shapes that don't fit neatly into one category or another. Here are some suggestions to help you choose the hats that will look the best on your face.
RoundIt's not difficult to see if a face is round. The large forehead, big cheeks, and rounded chin give the shape a tenderness. There are no harsh angles, noticeable jawlines, or oblong lengths. Do: Wear hats with some angularity to counteract the fullness of a round face, like this medium-brim fedora with a teardrop shape. Soft curves are additionally lengthened by tall crowns, and an otherwise symmetrical face shape is contrasted by brims that are asymmetrical. To play with proportion, try wearing the hat with the brim angled forward.
Don't: Wear hats with bowler-style crowns and skinny brims.LongLong faces, often known as rectangular faces, are wider than they are long. If you look at the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline, they are all about the same breadth from top to bottom.
Do: Choose hats with lesser crowns; those with taller ones will merely heighten the head and lengthen the face. To help add width and equilibrium to the face, wear hats with larger brims or those with a flared brim that sit at the center of the forehead or just above the eyebrows.
Don’t: Hats worn high on the head, having towering crowns or thin brims. OvalOval faces, often known as egg-shaped faces, resemble long faces but have more rounded sides that are significantly narrower at the top and bottom. The largest section of the face is the cheekbones, and there are no sharp angles in the jawline.
Do: A newsboy cap that sits just above the eyebrows and whimsical captain hats both look great on an oval-shaped face. Try wearing a medium- to the wide-brimmed hat at the center of your forehead to contrast the soft, roundish features of an egg-shaped face.
Don't: Hats with extremely rounded crowns and narrow brims, like bowlers, add too much roundness and may appear a little costumey.
Diamond
A set of high, wide cheekbones are the distinguishing feature of a face with a diamond shape. These denote the largest area of the face, with the top (forehead) and bottom of the face having narrower proportions (chin).
Do: Choose hats with medium to the wide brim and a pinched crown to complement a face with a diamond shape. Hats with side bands also give the impression of being wider.
Don’t: Avoid wearing narrow-brimmed hats since they emphasize your already thin forehead.SquareSince no face is genuinely square, this shape is used to describe a jawline that clearly resembles a square. This face shape also includes a large forehead and wide cheekbones that are often the same width as the jaw, in addition to a conspicuously square and slightly flat chin area. Do: Round hats, such as bowlers, and softer, slouchier designs, including round crowns, provide a balanced alternative to square jawlines.
Don't: Sharp features will only be highlighted by severe angles.HeartThe forehead is the biggest area of the face in people with heart-shaped faces, and it is interrupted by a pointed chin. Numerous hat designs complement a face with a heart shape.
Do: A face with a heart shape would look best with a medium-sized brim. The width of the forehead can be balanced by wearing hats with a big crown.
Don’t: Avoid wearing wide-brimmed hats since they make the chin appear even more narrow and widen the forehead in an unpleasant way.
