Do you want to add a hat to your wardrobe , but you don't know which model to choose? Do not panic ! In this article, we will introduce you to the different face shapes of women and the hats that best suit them.
The different shapes of female faces
First of all, you should know that there are several types of women's faces. Here are the main ones:
- Round face : similar width and length, rounded jaw and forehead.
- Oval face : length slightly greater than width, rounded jaw and forehead.
- Square face : similar width and length, angular jawline, broad, flat forehead.
- Rectangular face : length significantly greater than width, angular jaw, broad and flat forehead.
- Heart-shaped face : broad and rounded forehead, high cheekbones, thin and pointed chin.
- Diamond face : narrow forehead, high cheekbones, thin and pointed chin.
The hat for every face type
The hat for a round face
To highlight a round face , it is advisable to choose a hat with a high crown and narrow brims. This will elongate the face and give the illusion of a more oval shape. The hat, the fedora or even the trilby are therefore perfectly suited.
The hat for an oval face
Since the oval face is considered the ideal shape, all hat shapes suit it. You can therefore dare and experiment with different styles according to your desires and your outfit: bell bottom, Panama hat, boater hat, etc. However, make sure that the hat is not too tight on the forehead in order to maintain the balance of the face.
The hat for a square face
To soften the angular features of a square face, choose hats with wide, rounded brims, such as the floppy hat or bowler hat. Avoid overly structured or rigid models that accentuate the straight lines of the face. Finally, remember to tilt the hat slightly to the side to create asymmetry and thus break the regularity of the features.
The hat for a rectangular face
As with a square face, the goal is to soften the protruding angles of a rectangular face. So opt for hats with rounded and flexible shapes, such as the floppy hat, the beret or the bowler hat. Feel free to play with the edges and tilt them slightly to the side to create harmony.
The hat for a heart-shaped face
To balance a heart-shaped face, opt for hats with soft, rounded lines. Models with a low crown and narrow edges are preferred, such as the fedora, the boater or the trilby. You can also opt for a beret or hat for a more casual style.
The hat for a diamond face
The diamond face is characterized by high cheekbones and a narrow forehead. To restore balance to the face, choose hats with medium brims and rather low crowns, such as the fedora, panama or boater hat. However, avoid overly bulky models that would weigh down the top of the face.
Some additional tips
- Stay true to your style : Even though certain hats are recommended for your face type, don't forget to take your taste and personality into account. Do you particularly like a model? Try it! The main thing is to feel comfortable and in harmony with your hat.
- Take your height into account : short people can opt for hats with a low crown to avoid bulking up their silhouette, while tall people can choose models with a high crown to add volume and character.
By following these tips, you should be able to find the ideal hat for your face. So don't hesitate any longer and treat yourself by falling for a pretty headgear!
