Teddy Bucket - Camel - Kids Mini

If your face tends to be on the longer side, it's best to avoid pieces that have a shallow crown or are styled with a short brim. Instead, try to find hats with wide brims and fitted crowns. These elements help create the illusion of width.

Look for hats that create the illusion of elongation and length. These types of hats typically feature medium-sized brims and a flicked edge that create more shape around the face.

Tip: wear your hats further back and at the base of your hairline (just before your forehead).

For those with a rounder face, it's best to avoid any style that will make your features appear even softer or fuller.

Thankfully, there are plenty of hats worth considering, including those with shallow crowns, angular hats, fedora's, cloche's and any hat you can position further toward the back of your head.

For angular face shapes such as square faces, it's best to search for styles that soften your angles.

This includes everything from slouchy and floppy hats to beanies and circular styles – anything that's easy to throw on and feels effortlessly cool.

While wide-brimmed hats may work well for a long face, they don't tend to do heart-shaped faces any favours. Not only can they make wider faces look, well, wider… they amplify certain features like the jaw and cheekbones.
