Many women ask what hat would be right for them.
There are a few simple guidelines that will help you determine what is
best for your face shape:
 OVAL:
Streamline shapes, worn forward, square or round crowns, brims
swept up on the side(s) or back. ROUND:
Medium or small brims, neat styles, worn forward or on a jaunty
slant Asymmetrical brims will lessen the roundness. profile brims,
varied sizes.
 LONG:
Medium to wide brims, worn straight or forward Sharp, straight
styles These straight brim styles "cut" the length appearance of your
face.
 SQUARE:
Large brims with soft lines, upturned brims, round crowns or curved edge
square crowns.
 WIDE:
Off the face styles, bretons, (upturned brims) pillboxes worn back These
will add "lift".
 HEART:
Asymmetrical designs, Square or round crowns tilted to one
side, Profile hats and brims with soft curves.
Still not sure what
your face shape is?
Look at your face in the mirror. With bar soap, trace the shape of your
face directly onto the mirror ... Now stand back and observe
"objectively."
