Guys, did you know that you can't wear a hat carelessly? Maybe you've seen a model or actress who looks stylish and charming when wearing a certain hat model. But after you buy a hat with the same model, it turns out that the hat is not suitable for you to wear. Well, it could be because the hat you bought doesn't suit your face shape.

There are various types of hats that can be used as accessories to support your appearance. Unfortunately, not all types of hats are suitable for everyone. This is because each type of hat has its own unique shape that can support the shape of the face.

To avoid making the wrong choice, here's how to determine which hat model suits your face shape. Check it out!

Get To Know Your Face Shape

Before we discuss what type of hat suits your face shape, it might be good if you know the shape of your face shape.

  1. Square face: A square face is a face with a wide forehead and jaw and a strong facial bone structure.
  2. Heart face: The characteristics of people who have a heart face shape are those with a slightly widened face shape in the cheeks but a small or tapered chin.
  3. Long face: This face shape is almost similar to a square shape but longer. The forehead, cheeks, and jawline are almost the same width and your chin only forms a small angle.
  4. Round face: If your cheekbones and face length are almost the same size. The size is larger than the forehead and jawline, which also have a similar size. The characteristic of a round face is that the angle of the jaw is soft or not firm.
  5. Oval face: The length of the face is greater than the width of the cheekbones, and the forehead is greater than the jawline. The angle of the jaw is rounded.

Square Face

Owners of a square face shape must be good at choosing the right hairstyle to head accessories. When wearing hats, try to choose hats with rounded brims such as floppy, bowler, and boater hats. This hat model can make your face look softer because the firm corners of the face will be camouflaged by the rounded shape of the hat.

Types of hats that are suitable for square-face owners include flat caps, newsboy caps, and ascot caps.

Heart-Shaped Face

Owners of heart-shaped faces should not choose hats that make the chin look sharper and longer. It's better to wear a hat with a cloche hat model. This hat can help disguise a wider forehead and a longer chin.

Hat models that are suitable for heart-shaped faces such as fedora, porkpie, bowler, and boater hats will make your appearance more attractive.

Long Face

For owners of long-face shapes, try choosing hats with round and flat brims such as boater and Panama types. This type of hat can disguise a long chin so that the face will look more proportional and fit. You should avoid wearing a fedora hat because it can make your face look longer and wider.

Round Face

If long-face owners are advised to avoid fedora hats, the opposite applies to round faces. A fedora hat is highly recommended for round-face owners because it can make your face look longer and slimmer. Owners of round faces should avoid hats with beanie and bowler styles, as they will only make your face look rounder and chubby.

Oval-Shaped Face

You're lucky if you have an oval-shaped face because all kinds of hats will look good on you and you can just choose the size and shape according to your taste. However, the recommended hat shape for those of you with oval faces is a hat with a round model like a bowler hat.

In addition, a beanie hat with knit material can also be one of the references for oval-faced men. Do not use a hat that has a large size because it will make your face look closed or drowned.

Some types of hats that are suitable for oval-shaped face owners include; baseball caps, trucker hats, snapback hats, beanies, etc.

Diamond-Shaped Face

When you use a hat for your diamond-shaped face, you may want to adjust it so that it rests slightly on your head. That will help maintain the proportion between your forehead and jaw. Whether you can wear a hat like that will depend on the type of hat you use. Hats for diamond-shaped faces include: beanie hats, flat caps, and fedora

Well that was some recommendations on how to choose a hat that suits your face shape. If you have another opinion, don't forget to write it down in the comments section below!
