The hat has been an essential part of men’s fashion since the dawn of time when our ancestors wore them to protect from the elements and aid in religious rituals. In modern times, the hat has become an accessory you can use to complete your outfit, particularly if you wear suits regularly as I do. There are plenty of different styles to choose from; it’s hard to know where to start with something like this! That’s why we’ve put together this guide on picking the perfect from the best china hats for your style.
Consider Your Face Shape
A hat with a wide brim works well with long face shapes, while hats with smaller brims look best on round faces. If you want your hat to draw attention, pick one with a smaller brim. If you’re going for depth in your face, choose one that has a wider brim. Oval-shaped faces can wear almost any type of hat without drawing extra attention to their face shape.
Know the Trends
From Fedoras to Beret, there are plenty of hat styles out there. Take a look at what your favorite celebrities and musicians are wearing to determine which style best suits you. Are you going for professional or trendy? A little bit of both? Knowing your desired result will help you find a hat that complements your ensemble. If in doubt, opt for a more conservative style like a fedora—it can be worn in almost any situation.
Choose an Offset
The most classic baseball cap style is the snapback, which has an embroidered or silk-screened design on the front. You can wear it with almost anything: denim, chinos, shirts of all kinds. This means there are many brands and styles available—all you have to do is choose one that suits your style. Here are some easy guidelines for selecting a hat that goes perfectly with your style.
Consider the Season
If you live in a tropical climate, your options will be far greater than if you live somewhere with four seasons. Take that into consideration when you’re thinking about what you want your hat to do for you. A summer hat should keep your head cool during warm weather; an autumn hat can be warm and stylish as it protects from chilly winds and falling leaves; a winter hat should trap warm air inside so that heat doesn’t escape your head.
Pick Your Style
The most important step in picking a hat is choosing your style. If you’re looking for something flashy, go for a tall top hat or panama hat. Flat caps and fedoras are perfect if you want to look like a stylish 20th century detective or film noir gumshoe. If it’s warmth you’re after, beanies and bandanas keep your head nice and cozy during those winter months. And if you really want to make an impression, here are 5 styles to try:
- Fedora/Western
- Trilby/Fedora/Borsalino,
- Porkpie/Derby
- Cloche
- Newsboy
Prepare to Wear It
The right hat can turn a casual outfit into a great outfit, and you can’t wear one if it’s in your closet. Before purchasing a hat, decide where and when you will wear it. If you don’t know your hat style or which styles are best suited for your face shape, figure out these things before making any purchases. This way, you won’t waste money on hats that go with nothing in your wardrobe.
