Who hasn’t heard the common expression about this season’s must-have accessory, which boils down to a few words: «hat-ready head». Some people are addicted to them, while others don’t dare to wear them because they don’t think they have that famous hat-ready head. It’s time to bust this myth and reassure all women: there’s a headwear option for every face shape! Below, you’ll find a guide to help you choose the hat that will enhance your face and definitely make you a headwear addict!
- For those with an oval face, rest assured, anything suits you! You can opt for a hat with a rounded shape, a square shape, and even more elaborate and structured hats or turbans.
- If you have a long or elongated face, it's best to compensate for the length with hats that don't have too high a crown. You should opt for fairly flat shapes while thinking about not making the silhouette look squat. To break up this subtle height, you can choose a hat that adds volume to the sides with medium or wide brims.
- For short faces, you can try to give yourself some height with a medium-height crown hat. It's better to avoid flat or square crowns which tend to make the silhouette appear shorter. Therefore, opt for Borsalino or Fedora type hats; thanks to these hats, you can create any style depending on the different models and colours.
- For square faces, soften your features with rounded shapes. Opt for cloche hats or medium-brimmed fedoras with brims that are flat or turned up on one or more sides. Avoid cone-shaped hats, which accentuate wide jawlines.
- For those with chubby, round faces, steer clear of bowler hats, as they will accentuate your lovely cheeks. Instead, aim to balance your proportions with non-rounded hats that don't have excessively wide brims. The Fedora can be an option, as can berets worn slightly to the side, and asymmetric hats.
Now that you know a hat made for you definitely exists in our range, don't hesitate any longer and dare to wear a hat! The best thing to do, however, is to make an appointment with Madame Delvigne at our workshop in Brussels so that she can find the perfect hat for your face, as well as for your personality!
