No matter how you look at it, hats are practical, fun, and stylish. Regardless of the season or occasion, chances are, there’s a hat that can elevate your outfit to a stunning ensemble. Whether it be to shield your face from damaging UV rays or to make a unique fashion statement, there truly is a hat for everyone

The only question is “how do I find the right hat for me?”, so read on to discover a handy guide.

How to choose the right hat for you

How many times have you admired someone wearing a hat and said things like “they look great, but it’s too bad I can’t pull off wearing a hat like that”? Well, the truth of the matter is that there is no such thing as being a hat person. Everyone can find a hat that suits them, accentuates their best features, and makes them exude confidence.

Having said that, with a wealth of choices on offer, it can feel a little overwhelming to find the perfect hat. Some of the criteria that can narrow down the field are;

• Your height – Aesthetically speaking, shorter people look better with shorter brims, whilst taller folk can be a little more flexible with their headwear
• The shape of your face – Your face shape can play a role in determining the most flattering hat style for you
• The size of your head – Just as you wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes without considering your foot size, before buying a hat, you should find the right size for your head

Whilst some hats can be worn all year round, some factors will determine whether they are seasonal. These include; colour, material, and texture.  

For instance, let’s imagine that you own two fedoras – one in a natural straw style and the other in a black velvet finish. Although they are both fedora hats, they are designed for different seasons – summer and winter, respectively.
