How to choose a hat?

Often fashionable women get upset, the cold season barely begins - it means that it's time to put on a hat. Many women experience discomfort when choosing a headdress, because they do not fully understand which version of the variety of models suits them.

Let's figure out how to choose a hat, based on our own appearance.

Despite the fact that the appearance of all different, the main types or shapes of the face stand out only five: a triangular face, in the shape of a square, circle, oval or rectangular. Knowing your type, it will be easier to choose a headdress:

• Triangular face. If you have a rather wide forehead, prominent cheekbones and a sharp chin stretched down, you should take a closer look at such models of caps as voluminous berets asymmetrically falling on one side of the face, earflaps with ears that reach the chin edge and visually expand it. as well as hats with thin, soft fields, going down.

• Square face. The line of the cheekbones, almost equal to the temporal lobes, as well as a massive chin and a wide forehead are typical signs of a square face. To make it soft and subtle, you should buy a hat that fits tightly on the forehead, but falls back in a soft wave. It will also look good elegant, slightly asymmetric soft cap, fedora hat or fur cap with ears that are tied back.

• Oval face. Lucky with a proportional face a bit, but they are many, if not all, styles of hats. When creating a hat, cap or beret, the designers rely on oval faces, therefore, in this case, it is necessary to choose in favor of a headgear, starting not from the shape of the face.

• Round face. The owners of this form of the face cheekbones are the widest place, and the width of the face is not too greater than its length. To visually fix this, you can wear hats with visors or headdresses of large knitting and asymmetric cut. Also good caps, pulling the oval face, berets, stretched on one ear and soft, slightly shapeless hats with a tall, elongated crown.

• Rectangular face. Women with a long face have a large forehead and prominent chin. In this case it is better to pick up hats with a lapel that can be pulled deep onto the forehead. Soft berets that need to be worn so that part of the forehead is covered also mask the rectangle well, a small cap with a fixed top will successfully perform the same role.

So, miniature young ladies, whose height is lower 160 centimeters, it is preferable to wear non-bulky hats: knitted hats with a lapel, caps with soft brims, with earflaps with small ears. Wide-brimmed hats and caps, the back of which are below the collar line, are strictly contraindicated. Low girls will not go volumetric fur hats, which will visually put pressure on the whole figure.

Tall lady - from 175 centimeters, stylists recommend volumetric, but not high headgear. A hat with wide or medium margins, a voluminous fur hat,

If we talk about hair color, the stylists are advised to do the following:

• Brunettes are bright, saturated colors: dark blue, scarlet, crimson, purple, emerald, as well as black and snow-white.

• Blondes pink, blue headdresses, golden, beige, pistachio, light gray, pale green will be good. Blondes with a cold shade are red, with a warm - chocolate, graphite.

• Redhead all shades of green will be good for the young ladies, as well as yellow, orange, plum, coffee.

• Brown-haired There are all the colors of chocolate, as well as dark gray, dark blue and black hats, dark beige hats, ocher and warm milk tones.

Regarding the length of hair, you can choose the style of headdress. Ladies with short and curly hair will be nice in caps with a lapel, sports-style hats, caps or hats. If the hair is short but not curly, the right choice is a sock-cap or cap, non-bulky sports hats, caps with a straight peak.

Girls with long straight hair go berets large or medium-knit, bowler hats or cloche caps, and hats with earflaps. Young ladies with curly curls below the neck will benefit if they get a knitted volumetric cap, a modest beret or a hat with the fields “looking” down.

Most often, hats do not have a common dimensional mesh., like 42-44 size or S, M or L. The volume of the head is an individual parameter and it can absolutely not depend on other proportions of the figure. Therefore, before buying a hat you should definitely try on the subject of not squeezing and squeezing your head, and also not hanging out and not slipping on your forehead.

If you buy a hat on the Internet, order individually or just want to be sure of your own size, you can use two methods.

• With a tape measure. With a soft centimeter you need to measure the girth of the head, starting from the center point on the forehead, through the temple, the back of the head (where the spine passes) and through the second temple again onto the forehead. The figure in centimeters that you get is your size.
• With the help of thread or string. If the tailoring meter is not at hand, you can find out the volume of the head with the help of available tools - threads, braid, any string. It needs to be wrapped around the head as in the method described above, and then we measure the resulting length with an ordinary ruler.

It is worth noting that many models of caps are equipped with so-called adjustment tapewhich is one to two sizes in stock. That is, a hat of 56 size can stretch up to 58 size. However, this tape works only within a couple of centimeters, otherwise the cap will be uncomfortable. As for the hats of rigid form - caps, some hats, here you need to get the size in size.

First of all, you need to decide for which season the headgear is purchased. In the warm autumn and spring months, the hat performs a rather decorative function, so the material can be almost anything. Sports hats can be made of cotton, fleece, acrylic or synthetic, everyday models are made of denim, a mixture of silk and cashmere, suede, thin leather or knitwear.

Winter models should have wool in their composition, it’s good if it is a natural fabric. Excellent performance in angora, camel hair, and alpaca. On the other hand, the outer part of the cap can be of any material, if the head-piece has a warm lining. If we talk about fur hats, then there are two options - either the fur is located inside, and the outer part of the cap is leather or suede, or the fur is outside, then the lining should be pleasant and cozy, for example, from good knitwear or thin wool.

Headgear should also fit into the overall style of the wardrobe, or be appropriate for the occasion. If you choose a hat for sports - for example, for running or skiing, then it should be dense, windproof and have a minimum of decorative elements. These hats often have a fleece or even a membrane lining, which allows you to effectively wipe moisture from the head. If the sporty style is the basis of your wardrobe, the hat can be much more interesting.

These are models of knitted fur hat with long “braids”, with fancy pompoms, these are hats-caps with bright inscriptions or print, or knitted hats that are “completed” with fur headphones.

Ladies who prefer a feminine, relaxed style can wear soft knitted hats, cute berets or fur hats. Hats with rhinestones or metal elements, fur ear-flaps with leather inserts, bright hats with pom-poms are suitable for daring ladies who wear glamor or casual style. Business women will wear a discreet color headdress with a minimum of additional elements. A classic fur hat or a medium-knitted hat will look good.

• It is best to choose a hat right in the clothes with which you plan to combine it. So you won't regret with a touch of the cap, and also be able to appreciate the whole ensemble at once. If this is not possible, try to negotiate with the seller about what you need a couple of days to think about, trying on a hat with outerwear.

• Another important point is the quality of the product. If it is a bright fabric or yarn, check whether it will stain the skin, for this you need to rub the cap with a damp cloth. If there is decor on the headgear - rhinestones, metal or plastic elements, make sure that they firmly hold.

• Pay attention to the quality of the seams of the product, the density of the gum. It so happens that in a store the hat seems comfortable, but during long-term wearing it puts pressure on the temples or forehead, which can cause a headache. The last is the cost of the product. When purchasing a very inexpensive headgear, do not expect that it will last you longer than one season.
