Can you wear a hat indoors? Is it a fashion faux pas to wear a wide-brimmed hat at night? What hat style to pick for your face shape? Hats might be having a fashion moment but wearing one is no easy feat. A favourite amongst bloggers and celebrities alike, hats are great for enhancing your look. Look around you will notice well-composited vacation pictures with fedora hats, leather berets worn for some European chic and abundance of beanies in winters. Needless to say, this is the best time to sport a hat! Yet flaunting a hat can be a tricky task, we’re here with 7 simple tips to style a hat so that you can pull it off with confidence.
1. Seasonal style
Just like clothes, you’d like to wear a hat that’s appropriate for the weather. Wool and felt hats are great for the colder months while straw hats are best kept for summer. A beanie is a cute and failsafe way to get started this winter if you’re a hat virgin!
You totally need this black pom-pom beanie (Rs 449) this winter!
2. Match it with your outfit
There’s no hard and fast rule that you have to match the hat with your outfit. But if you don’t want it to grab too much attention an easy way to wear it is by matching it with the rest of your look. Neutral coloured hats will complement most of the colours you wear and won’t draw much attention.
3. …Or use it to make a statement
If you’re all about making a statement then choose a style that stands out from the rest of your outfit. You could experiment with different colours or simply choose an elaborate style. We like how Kendall has worn a cowboy hat to go with her Coachella outfit. It isn’t completely different from the rest of her attire, yet it stands out.
This felt hat with faux fur (Rs 2,415) is just the right amount of loud to go with your party outfits.
4. Hair length matters
Ever noticed how a close-fitting cloche complements shorter hair while floppy hats look great on women with long hair? Of course, a lot of factors like the outfit you’re wearing and the colour of the hat make a difference. But your hairstyle plays a major role in determining how the hat will look on you! The easiest way to wear a hat is with your hair let loose. However, a simple side braid or bun looks great with hats as well.
This floppy hat (Rs 1,725) will look great on you if you have long hair! For the short hair girl, this biker hat (Rs 1,552) is perfect.
5. Keep your face shape in mind
Just like there’s a hairstyle for every face shape, there’s a hat to go with it too! Find out what your face shape is and look up which celebrity has the same face shape as you do. Decode their hat style and you’re sorted! It’s the easiest way to get this right.
6. The right fit is everything!
Yes, hats do come in different sizes! And you must invest in one that is true to your size. For instance, if a fedora hat doesn’t sit well on your head, you’ll be too worried about it falling off and it’ll ruin your overall look. Be very picky about the size when you’re selecting a hat.
Get yourself this straw hat (Rs 1,552) to take your vacation outfits up a notch!
7. Embrace your style…
…and believe in yourself! We all have our unique style and that’s exactly what makes us, us. Whether it’s wearing a vintage biker jacket with all your outfits or an oversized fedora, embrace your style and have confidence in yourself. It’s the first step to looking stylish!
