FAQ’s about your handmade hat – thank you for your recent purchase – ya’ll put that extra stitch in my seam!
One common roadblock to confident hat-wearing is simply not knowing what type of hat looks best on you. Your face shape and handmade hat go hand in hand – let’s find out more!
Maybe you tried on a hat that one time, and it looked awful and now you think all hats look terrible on you. Or, maybe your friend laughed at you because they thought you looked ridiculous when you tried on a hat an art festival.
The fact is that you weren’t trying on the right type of hat.
Long Face Shape
A long-shaped face should avoid hats that sit high on the top. They tend to add height when more of a fitted fit is optimal. Deeper crowns covering ample portion of head is ideal, such as a deep rounded cloche that sits close to the crown. BEST STYLE: Cloche, Wide Brim, Slouchy Knit
Round Face Shape
A round-shaped face should have a hat with height up top and sharp lines. It should have a crown proportionate to the face. Tilting straight brims create attractive lines. Brims that are asymmetrical work well, while symmetrical brims should be tilted to offset the round. BEST STYLE: Sister Newsboy, Curvy Sister Newsboy, Slouchy Knit
Oval Face Shape
If you have been blessed with an oval-shape face then we all envy you! Most hat styles will look great on you given they are worn across the forehead and hairline. It now just comes down to choosing something you love!
BEST STYLE: Limitless
Square Face Shape
Square-shaped faces look best in softer, rounded hats because they balance the lines of the face. Asymmetrical hats allow for contrast to sharp jawlines creating an attractive softness. BEST STYLE: Cloche, Slouchy Knit
Heart Face Shape
Heart-shaped faces need to balance out a wider forehead. Hats with small- to medium-sized brims are perfect for this face shape. If too large of brim is selected the forehead appears wider then normal. This face shape allows for many different styles. BEST STYLE: Cloche, Sister Newsboy
Your face shape is a beautiful shape and there’s sure to be a handmade hat that looks great!
You Can Wear Hats
You’re in the right (handmade) place if you struggle with wanting to…
Two Sides to the Story
Trend colors come and go and the key to a good hat reversible hat is you get two sides to your hat! Whether your wardrobe is a full color wardrobe or you’re more of neutral gal – no problem. Because my handmade hats are reversible I suggest you wear hats with one side that’s neutral and the other side with a little more pizazz – just for fun! The summer line-up is full of color and neutrality for your lovely head. Here’s the breakdown friends –
Curvy Sister Newsboy Hat – all solid linen-blend colors, great for outings that require a little more than casual, but can be worn mowing lawn (my mom!)
Visor – reversible with colorful fabric and linen-blends, hook and loop closure for a one size fits most, great for those that need a lot of shade
Bucket Hat – great for the beach (or mowing lawn), reversible, great color choices
Cloche – reversible in pre-made color choices (I make it easy for you!), best for hair loss, weddings, funerals (I’m sorry for your loss – truly as it’s been a crappy year), brunches with your bestie
Jazz it Up
The reversible visor makes splash this season with some new colors! The hook and loop closure assures a nice, good fit and I’m so happy that I have TIE-DYE for you…can we say “yeah baby!” The visor brim choice is available in two sizes to accommodate how much coverage you want for shade.
