Fellas. News Flash. If all you own are caps, you still have some growing up to do. Real men wear hats. If you ever wondered how to choose a suitable hat for your head, I’ve outlined a few principles to follow. Shop for the perfect chapeau with these basic guidelines in mind, and you’re certain to be covered.
–The brim should be no wider than your shoulders.
–The crown should equal the width of your temples.
–Round faces should select taller crowns.
–Long faces should select shorter crowns.
–If you have a long nose, choose a brim that extends beyond the tip of your nose.
–Wide brims will help to de-emphasize ears that stick out.
–Most hats should be worn forward on the top of the head, with the crown covering part of the forehead.
–A slight tilt on the angle makes it more fashionable.
–Straw hats go with light-weight fabrics like cottons, linens, and the like. So no wearing after labor day.
