Face Length: Measure from the top of your hairline to the lowest part of your chin.Wonderful Roman nose - Make full use of wide brims such as the Bergman or Lorna, Summer visors work well, or long peaked caps such as Inge and Petra, or the Windswept DC style which also features a strong peak.Measuring Your Face to Determine Its Shapeīefore diving into the different face shapes, first, break out the measuring tape and jot down the following numbers: From now forward, choose the best hairstyles for face shapes, including haircuts for heart-shaped faces, haircuts for long faces, haircuts for oval faces, haircuts for round faces, and haircuts for square faces. Also for an androgynous look, try Denham or Perry. Short hair: Small brimmed trilby-style hats such as the Garbo or Sedley would work well. Straight Hair: You’re in luck as most hats can be worn with straight hair! In particular it looks nice tucked behind the ear(s) while wearing your hat. Broadwick is also good as it has a wide brim and wide crown. Curly Hair: Avoid close-fitting crown styles such as the Petra cap- but more generous cap and beret shapes such as the Rye, Linda and Aimee work really well with curly hair. Glasses: Most hats by Karen Henriksen work with glasses - Just watch out, the Anne is a deep cloche style which isn't ideal with bigger glasses. Other considerations: Glasses, Hair and Nose size Any berets such as Bonnie would be great, as well as the Kathy cloche, or any short brimmed hat would suit a small square face. The Windswept DC cap would work well too. Look at the 7 most common head shapes: Though similar in ratios, men’s and women’s head shapes look different because of their facial features and skeletal structures. Bald head face shapes also look different compared to those with hair. Soften the shape of your face by choosing a hat with a rounder shape - A beret-cap such as Linda, or a wide brim with rounded crown such as the Pickford. Men’s and women’s head and face shapes also differ because of their chin and hairline. Square shape: Go for an asymmetric look by wearing your hat to one side. From the Windswept collection, Georgia is a popular cap with that little bit of extra width. Also a short brimmed hat such as Sarah is good as it has a bit extra width. Wider cloches such as Sonia or Anne would work well too. Equally good would be wider brims, including Crawford - you could wear it quite low down to reduce the length of your face. Long shape: Choose something with width - For example generous size caps, berets or beret-caps such as Blaize, Linda, and Bonnie. Stay away from hats that have a very round shape though, as this will accentuate your round features: avoid Linda for example. If it's a cap you're after, the Windswept DC design could be great. Another brimmed hat, the Crawford works well too. The Kathy cloche is also good with a small round face. Round shape: Go for asymmetric shapes and hat styles that have an angular feel: a small trilby like Sedley or Garbo: their asymmetric crown & short brim are good for round faces. The round face shape is characterized by a wide hairline. If you have prominent cheekbones, just make sure the crown isn't too narrow. The oval face shape is longer than wide, with a jaw that is narrower than the cheekbones. Heart shape: As with the oval shape, your choice of hat styles is wide! Caps, cloche hats brimmed hats and pillbox hats all work well - see model images of Alessandra and Rebekah. Oval shape: You're in luck as you can almost wear any hat shape! - Other factors come into consideration such as hair style and colouring.
