Creating the illusion of balance is a vital aspect to consider when shopping for accessories. Once you have determined which shape best describes your facial features, attention should be given to deciding what will work well with your body.
Petite individuals should look for womens dress hats, which have narrow brims and a low crown. Wide, expansive pieces have a tendency to overshadow a smaller, delicate frame. Those who are tall can wear larger accessories, but should avoid narrow, angular tops that dwarf their size. Curves can be handsomely accentuated by a thick brim and swooping lines, as featured in many of the Helen Kaminski hats offered by HATagories.
The first step in selecting your ideal piece begins by identifying the shape of your face. This is important when purchasing designer hats for ladies, as it is necessary to determine what styles and colors will complement your features best.
If you are unsure as to what shape your face is, try this simple exercise: Take a bar of soap, and while looking into a mirror, trace the outline of your jaw and head. This will allow you to analyze the reflection more thoroughly and carefully. Facial shapes typically fall into one of the following categories:
- Oval, slightly more narrow at the jaw line than the temples, with overall balanced proportions
- Round, with a curved forehead, rounded jaw line, and full cheeks with few angles
- Oblong, which is commonly more long than wide, featuring a straight cheek line and nose
- Rectangle, long and slender, with the same width across both the forehead and cheekbones
- Square, with a broad forehead and angular jaw line
- Heart, which is widest at the temples and narrows gradually to a delicate chin
The oval is considered to be the optimal shape, and can handle nearly any design or style of womens dress hats.
