1. Flatter Your Face

Flatter Your Face Wide brim hats generally suit most face shapes. This is great news for those who are just starting to dip their toes into the hat game. While wide brims can be flattering to most facial types, those on the petite side should avoid too wide a brim as they can overpower your entire look.

When selecting your perfect hat, consider the proportions of your face. Oval faces can pull off almost any brim width, while those with a square or round face should opt for brims with a gentle curve to soften their features. If you have a heart-shaped face, look for medium brims that don’t extend past your chin width to maintain balance. Remember, the key is to create a harmonious look that complements your natural shape without overwhelming your features.

2. Make It Match

Make It Match It’s important that the style of hat matches the rest of your outfit. The hat should pull your entire outfit together. For example, a cartwheel hat would look a bit out of place paired with a floaty bohemian dress. Floppy wide brim hats are great for teaming with casual outfits while structured fedoras are great if you’re after a more polished vibe. It’s about finding the right balance so you might have to try on a few hats before you find the right one for your outfit.

3. Put It in Place

Put It in Place Wide brim hats can be quite commanding, and just where you wear them can make all the difference. Generally, wear your wide brim hats so that they sit across your forehead, not pushed to the back of your head. If you push them too far back they a) will fall off your head; and b) potentially end up looking like a bonnet or some kind of halo.

When positioning your wide brim hat, tilt it slightly to create an angle that flatters your facial shape. For example, if you have a round face, angling the hat will give the illusion of a narrower appearance. Also, consider the height at which you place the hat - it shouldn't sit too high or too low on your forehead. The right placement not only secures the hat better but also ensures that your features are complimented rather than overshadowed. Remember, the angle at which you wear the hat can be a statement in itself.

4. Wear Your Hair out

Wear Your Hair out Hair, especially that on the shorter side, can get lost under a wide brim. Balance out the shape of a wide brim hat by wearing your hair out. Long, loose hair complements a range of hat styles from fedoras to floppy bohemian hats. If you’re going to tie your hair, try low braids and messy buns as anything too slicked back can look severe.

5. Re-think the Sunglasses

Re-think the Sunglasses Think twice about popping on a pair of sunglasses with your wide brim hats. Sometimes sunglasses and a hat can look like there’s just too much going on. Avoid wearing sunglasses with really wide brimmed hats. A regular fedora should be fine, but too wide a brim and you’ll end up looking like a celebrity trying to hide from the paparazzi.

6. Play with Colour

Play with Colour Have a little bit of fun with your look and try on hats in interesting and unique colours. Basic black and tan hats are timeless, but jewel tone colours and pastels are also on-trend.

7. Stick to Simple Styles

Stick to Simple Styles When incorporating hats into your everyday outfits, the simpler the hat, the better. Avoid anything too fussy, like feathers and embellishments. You don’t want it to be a spectacle, unless you’re doing your best Lady Gaga impersonation, of course. Otherwise, save the look-at-me hats for the races.

Wide brim hats can be a flattering addition to an outfit. These are just a few tips for pulling off this season’s must-have wide brim hat. What are your best tips for styling hats?
