How to flaunt the ultimate cooler-weather headwear

While there are lots of fall to winter hat styles that would make great additions to your seasonal wardrobe, it’s important to select some staple items that have the perfect, small details to compliment your look. Cold-weather headwear can be a tricky area to traverse because many styles possess more diversified characteristics than others. If the following subject interests you, continue reading to start scoping for which ornate styles will spice up your fall/winter look. 

Pick the right designer headwear to shape your face

Finding the right hat for your shape can be compared to the art of trying on pants because not all headwear will fit the same way. Hats are accessories that communicate a sense of personality, and before you find the right hat for you, we recommend looking at your face shape and perusing styles that compliment what you have to work with. Start by measuring your head to determine its circumference. This is the best way to find out your size and then onto shopping for hats that accentuate your head’s best features. The shape of one’s head is categorized as following: long, round, square, heart, oval, or diamond and each frame presents an assortment of choices that presents flattery. 

While your level of confidence in what you wear contributes to which styles you’ll feel dapper in, there are some rules of thumb to follow based on your head shape:

• Long: Elongated faces look best in designer hats with wide brims, such as cowboy hats and sunhats that cut across the forehead and shorten your face. 
• Round: Circular faces look best in designer hats that elongate their look, such as a retro-styled fedora or cloche. 
• Square: Four-sided faces look best in designer hats the soften their appearances, such as floppy or wide-brim headwear. 
• Heart: This unique face shape looks best when topped with a baseball cap or fedora, de-accentuating the narrow jar and wider upper head. 
• Oval: Otherwise known as an egg-shaped face, the oval shape is lucky to be able to best compliment any type of hat style. 
• Diamond: This shortened face shape looks best in designer hats that style further back and possess a shallow crown, like the pork pie.
