Finding the right hat for your face shape can be like trying on pants. 

They may have the same sizes on the tags (O/S) but they don’t fit the same way on everyone’s head. It can look good for some people, but also the opposite. Not everyone has the same personality and that’s okay, because there’s a perfect hat for every face shape and personality.

 Before trying on every hat you can find on the market, you need to know which face shape you are. According to your face shape, one hat could be better than the other, understanding what styles of hats can accentuate your best features is the best way to find the right one. These are just guidelines, the best hat for you is the one that you feel comfortable wearing and that flatters your features like you want.

There are 6 basic face shapes: long, round, square, heart, oval and finally diamond.

If you have a long face, a hat with a low crown and a wide brims can help shorten the length of the face. Also, a fedora with the same features or a wide-brimmed sun hat are good options to shorten the effect of a long face.

For a rounder face, lean toward hats with the opposite features. Pointed, rather than rounded styles work better for people with a round face. Hats with a low crown and a wide brim will help giving it a more angular appearance. A tall top hat is the best option.

A square shape has the benefit of a strong and angular facial face. For a more soften effect, a hat with rounded lines can make the angles of the face less viewed. A bucket hat would work well.

For a heart-shaped face, a baseball cap will help balance the proportions of the head. That’s because the clipped brim or angle helps de-accentuate the wideness of your upper face.

An oval face is considered to be the ideal face shape, people that have this one can basically wear almost any style of hatwear. People with oval faces can choose from a variety of hats like a sun hat

For a diamond-shaped face, wearing a hat further back on the head can help to shortened the face.
