Whether a fedora, a capeline, a Borsalino, a trilby or a boater, the hat is a timeless fashion accessory that can add a touch of elegance and personality to any outfit. However, with so many different styles and shapes, choosing the perfect hat can be difficult. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right hat.

• The shape of your face
  The shape of your face is an important factor to consider when choosing a hat. If you have a round face, a hat with a more angular shape or a taller crown can help lengthen your face. If you have a square face, a hat with a softer shape or a lower crown can help soften your features. For an oval face, most hat shapes will suit you.

• Your head size
  It is important to choose a hat that fits your head size perfectly. If the hat is too big, it may fall off or slip, while a hat that is too small can be uncomfortable and cause headaches. To determine your hat size, measure the circumference of your head with a tape measure placed just above the eyebrows and ears. Our size guide will help you find yours!

• The occasion
  Your choice of hat should also depend on the occasion on which you will wear it. If you are attending a formal event, a more classic and elegant hat such as a bowler or a felt hat may be more appropriate. For a relaxed day out, a straw hat or a beanie may be better suited.

• Your personal style
  Ultimately, your choice of hat should reflect your own style. If you are bold and eccentric, a more original and colourful hat may suit you. If you are more classic and understated, a sober, elegant hat may be a better fit.

• The season
  Your choice of hat should also take the season into account. In summer, a straw or Panama hat is ideal for protecting you from the sun while remaining elegant. In winter, a wool or cashmere hat will keep you warm while adding a touch of style to your outfit.

Take the time to try on different styles to find the one that suits you best and matches your personality. A well-chosen hat can truly make all the difference to your look! Visit us in our boutiques for the best advice from our consultants
