Headwear Selection

Your headpiece should complement your features and make you feel confident but selecting headwear can be daunting. The right headwear should highlight your features and enhance your style. Consider your face shape when making your selection.

If you have an oval face most hat styles will suit you, including fedoras, cloches, berets, pillboxes and wide-brimmed styles. Round-shaped faces are complemented by adding some height and a narrower brim. For those with a heart-shaped face, choose pieces that add height and draw attention to your cheekbones and eyes. Choose medium-width brims. If you have a longer face shape, choose medium-width brims and shapes that balance your features well. Avoid narrow or high crowns that will add length.

If you’re not sure, try different options and speak with an experienced milliner to discuss the best styles to enhance your features and express your personal style.
