Hats are great ways to express your personal style, but when they come in so many different options, it can be dizzying to find the right one for you.\u00a0 It can be even more difficult if you\u2019re trying to find one that will be the perfect gift for someone else.\u00a0 Whatever your hat buying needs, we\u2019ll walk you through different styles for everyone and help you find something you\u2019ll be completely thrilled with.<\/a><\/p>\n

What Kind of Face Do You Have?<\/h2>\n

For most people who are out looking at hats, the only things they\u2019re thinking about are whether or not the hat they\u2019re considering fits and looks good.\u00a0 The trick to making sure that a hat looks good on you<\/i>, though, is taking into account the shape and size of your face\/head<\/a>.\u00a0 Different face shapes are better complemented by certain cuts and styles of hat, as one type may look great, but another just seems out of proportion with your face.<\/p>\n

Face shapes are categorized by diamond, round, oval, and square.\u00a0 Diamond faces are those that have angular features, usually typified by wide cheekbones and a tapered chin.\u00a0 Round faces are just that \u2013 round.\u00a0 They\u2019re neither long nor wide but even all the way round.\u00a0 Oval faces, on the other hand, are longer than they are wide, while square faces feature strong jawlines and wide cheeks.\u00a0 These shapes are important because wearing the wrong hat will inevitably emphasize your facial features in such a way that they seem overly pronounced.<\/p>\n

Besides figuring out your face shape, you\u2019ll also want to figure out the size of your head in order to find the perfect fit.\u00a0 You can either use a measuring tape around the top of your head where the hat will rest, or you can use a piece of string by wrapping it around your head, and then holding it along a ruler.<\/p>\n

Picking Your Style:<\/h2>\n

Some hats are more occasion specific, while others offer more versatility when it comes to style.\u00a0 For example, a man\u2019s top hat might look odd in an informal setting, even if it\u2019s been designed as a modern, informal interpretation, whereas a woman\u2019s sun hat may seem out of place in the middle of December.\u00a0 Other hats, like men\u2019s caps and women\u2019s berets, offer a little more versatility, thus offering style that can be worn on a more day to day basis.<\/p>\n

Now, the true trick to finding the perfect hat comes when you put together your knowledge of face shapes with your understanding of what style works for what moment.\u00a0 For example, strong, square shaped faces do best with floppier, less rigid hats.\u00a0 Rigid hats with prominent profiles and cuts can have the tendency to make square faces seem more severe.<\/p>\n

Knowing what shapes and cuts work best for you then enables you to narrow down your search to a few specific options.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve narrowed down your list of possible candidates, you can pay more attention to things like where you\u2019ll be wearing your hat, as well as the colors, patterns, and textures that you like.<\/p>\n

Playing with color and texture can be particularly fun, as it allows you to create more style expressions even if you\u2019re keeping to just a couple of hat shapes.\u00a0 When you have an array of colors, patterns, and textures, it creates the impression \u2013 both for you and for those seeing you \u2013 that each hat is totally different, and reflective of particular moods and overall fashion styles.<\/p>\n

Creating a Hat:<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no need to limit yourself to what you find in a store or online.\u00a0 Having a hat made specifically for you is the ultimate way of achieving hat perfection.\u00a0 You can certainly find retailers \u2013 especially those that specialize in hats \u2013 that will make you any kind of custom creation you could want.\u00a0 This option is obviously going to be more expensive, but it allows you the rare opportunity to really take something expressive and have it truly represent you.<\/p>\n

Besides having a hat made, you can also have hats customized through printing.\u00a0 Many people like to order wholesale hats<\/a> like baseball caps, visors, and anything else, and have them printed with a specific logo, motto, family name, or team name.\u00a0 Such hats are great for family reunions and sports teams, as well as social clubs.\u00a0 Perhaps you and a group of friends have a golf group, book club, or cycling group \u2013 no matter what it is, you can use printing companies to create something that the whole group can enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
