In the cold season, you can't do without a hat. Choosing an accessory is a responsible undertaking. It is important to choose a product that will suit your face type, hair color and length, and season of the year. In addition to all these nuances, the headdress should be fashionable and practical.
Which hat to choose for winter, spring, autumn?
Headwear must be selected according to the weather. In the warm season, you can get by with a lightweight material option, but in winter you need to wear insulated hats. In the cold season, the best material for a headdress is fur and wool.
Important! In areas with cold winters, a hat with earflaps would be an ideal option. Nowadays there are products made from different materials, with long and short ears, and leather inserts.
In autumn and spring, it is allowed to use thin options made of cashmere and acrylic. On sunny days, you can wear a cap or beret. In cool weather, a hat should cover your ears to prevent catching a cold.
How to determine your face shape to choose a hat?
There are different methods for determining the shape of the face. The easiest way to complete the activity is with a measuring tape. All measurements must be recorded, so have a notepad and pen at hand. The procedure is performed in front of a mirror.
What measurements need to be taken:
- first you need to determine the width of the forehead, measurements are taken above the upper points of the eyebrows;
- then the width of the face is measured by measuring the interval between the cheekbones (it is better to focus on the outer corners of the eyes);
- Next, the length of the chin is determined, you need to measure the interval from its tip to the corner of the jaw and multiply the results by two;
- at the final stage, the length of the face is measured - this is the interval from the forehead to the chin.
The measurement result must be compared with known standard forms. With an oval face, the forehead and chin are the same, but the height can be 1.5 times the width. The length and width of a round face are almost the same. With an elongated face, the length significantly exceeds the width.
The square type is characterized by almost identical results between the length of the face and the width of the forehead. The triangular shape is represented by a narrow chin and a wide forehead. The opposite picture occurs with a pear-shaped face. The hat should skillfully correct shortcomings and emphasize advantages.
What hats for blondes, brunettes, redheads?
For those with blond hair, headdresses in grey, pink, delicate shades of blue and green are suitable. But peach and beige hats look best on white hair. Women with ash and light brown hair can safely choose light accessories.
Brunettes suit rich colors. Such women can afford a hat of any shade.For brown-haired women, the best choice would be hats in dark colors. Red-haired girls can take a yellow, green, brown accessory or a product with a golden tint.
Important! Women with red hair are strictly prohibited from wearing a red headdress.
Choosing a hat depending on hair length
Knitted items, a beret, and a tight-fitting headdress are great for long curly hair. Sports hats and ear flaps will ideally fit into the image of a lady with a short haircut. If a woman has curly hair, then it is better to buy a cap or Panama hat. For long, straight hair, wool berets and options with large brims are suitable.
