you called for me?

1. Oval Face Shape​

Characteristics: Balanced proportions, slightly narrower chin than forehead, high cheekbones.

Hat Styles:

  • Fedoras: The medium brim and structured crown of a fedora enhance the symmetry of an oval face.
  • Cloche Hats: These add an elegant touch, hugging the head in a way that complements the natural balance.
  • Beanies: Any type of beanie works well as the oval shape can carry both tight and loose styles.
Avoid: Hats with very wide brims that can overwhelm the face.

2. Round Face Shape​

Characteristics: Full cheeks, width and length are almost the same, soft features.

Hat Styles:

  • Wide-Brimmed Hats: Such as sun hats or floppy hats, they elongate the face and add a sense of length.
  • Fedoras: With a medium to high crown, fedoras add height to the face.
  • Asymmetrical Hats: These create angles and add structure, which helps in elongating the round face.
Avoid: Rounded crowns or beanies that fit tightly to the head, as they emphasize the roundness.

3. Square Face Shape​

Characteristics: Strong jawline, broad forehead, width and length are almost equal.

Hat Styles:

  • Curved Brim Hats: Hats like the bowler or cloche soften the angles of the face.
  • Wide-Brimmed Floppy Hats: These add softness and balance the strong jawline.
  • Cowboy Hats: The high crown and curved brim can help lengthen the face and soften the jawline.
Avoid: Boxy or flat-brimmed hats that emphasize the angularity.

4. Heart Face Shape​

Characteristics: Broad forehead, high cheekbones, narrow chin.

Hat Styles:

  • Wide Brims: Such as sun hats or floppy hats, balance out the narrow chin.
  • Fedoras: With a medium brim and teardrop crown, they help balance the forehead.
  • Beanies: Looser beanies add volume around the narrower part of the face, balancing the overall look.
Avoid: Hats that are too top-heavy, as they emphasize the wide forehead.

5. Long (Rectangular) Face Shape​

Characteristics: Longer than it is wide, with a long straight cheek line.

Hat Styles:

  • Wide-Brimmed Hats: These add width and balance out the length of the face.
  • Newsboy Caps: These add volume on the sides, creating the illusion of a shorter face.
  • Beanies: A slouchy beanie can add some bulk to the head, balancing the length.
Avoid: Tall crowns that add more height to the face.

6. Diamond Face Shape​

Characteristics: Narrow forehead and chin with wide cheekbones.

Hat Styles:

  • Fedoras: A soft brim and structured crown help balance the cheekbones.
  • Cloche Hats: These emphasize the cheekbones while balancing the narrower forehead and chin.
  • Bucket Hats: These add width to the forehead and chin, balancing the wider cheekbones.
Avoid: Narrow brims that accentuate the cheekbones without adding balance to the forehead and chin.
