Hats for small head and face. The choice of headgear depending on the shape of the face

The task of the cap is to visually draw out a round face.

What you need to know when choosing hats for a round face

The round face must be visually lengthened. Knitted volumetric models of hats with a pompom do well with this. However, you should not dwell on them if you are short, otherwise you risk being like a mushroom.

Note the visor hats and berets that are worn on the side. Fur hats with earflaps are successfully combined with a round face. When wearing such models, the ears are tied at the back of the head.

Girls with round cheeks should avoid tight-fitting models that fit snugly around the head. It is better to choose a voluminous version, while straightening the hair on both sides of the face. This technique visually stretches the face.

For girls with a rounded face, it is better to wear berets and hats, asymmetrically shifting to one side. If it is very voluminous, then it is shifted to the back of the head.

All lovers of hats should pay attention to models with a high crown and medium brim. Choose hats that look more like a masculine version.

With what to wear hats for a round face

The hat should not only match the facial features, but also match the style. It is foolish to wear a hat with earflaps to a classic business coat. It is better to give preference to hats, berets or choose a hat for a round face, as in the photo.

In addition, when choosing a hat for a fur coat or coat, the following should be considered:

  • a voluminous hat made of polar fox, sable or fox fur is suitable for a coat without a collar;
  • a mink hat and knitted beret patterns go well with a fur collar;
  • caps and berets are selected from the same fur as the fur coat. Do not wear a mink coat in combination with a polar fox hat;
  • small hats visually reduce the volume of the head, so they are more suitable for women of short stature;
  • large voluminous hats are best worn by tall ladies.

The combination of a hat with a shade of hair is also important. Blondes are more suitable for peach, white or beige models. And brunettes look good in hats of chocolate, purple and plum shades. Choose the color of the product somewhat darker or lighter than outerwear. Wear accessories in the same color as your hat.

Remember one rule: if the outerwear is made in a strict style of fabric without a pattern, then you can choose a hat with various arans, braids and ornaments. And vice versa: under a patterned coat, look at a simple and unpretentious beret model.

Despite the abundance of fashion accessories and shoes, the autumn-winter season rarely brings fashionistas pleasure, and all because of the forced need to wear hats. Women rarely perceive a headdress as an element of style, or at least as a functional piece of clothing that protects the head from the cold. Usually, berets and hats are considered harmful things that electrify the hair and ruin the hairstyle.

However, if you choose your headdress wisely, many problems will disappear by themselves, and your winter wardrobe will become more varied and brighter! In addition, with the help of a hat or cap, you can not only create a unique image and keep warm, but also correct the shape of your face, so why not take advantage of this opportunity?

How many hats should there be?

This issue is resolved individually, however, the more hats there are in the wardrobe, the easier it is to match them to outerwear. The general rules here are:

- classic hats with brims - fedora, slouch, cloche - are worn with coats, trench coats, cape coats or leather jackets.

- knitted hats and berets of various styles, as well as some models of caps and fur hats, are suitable for down jackets and jackets like them.

- do not combine fur hats with fur coats, especially if the fur coat and hat are made of the same fur. This combination is deprecated.

- high fur hats "a la russ" are good with fitted classic coats and with a military-style coat.

- voluminous knitted hats are suitable for a fashionable oversized coat or "cocoon".

The most fashionable image of the current season: an oversized coat or "cocoon", sneakers and a voluminous knitted hat

- fur hats "with ears" are harmoniously combined with leather and suede jackets, down jackets, various models of coats and thick cardigans.

When choosing a headdress, it is important to be guided not so much by personal preferences or fashion as by such parameters as height, complexion and face shape.

- the more corpulent the figure, the more voluminous the hat should be. This will balance the upper and lower body.

- tall and slender girls with an oval face shape can afford almost any headdress. The only nuance that should be taken into account is whether the color of the hat is suitable for the tone of the skin, hair, eyes and the image in general.

- for petite women it is better to avoid bulky hats and hats with large brim.

All faces can be roughly divided into five types: oval, triangular, round, square, and rectangular (or elongated).

Oval face shape

The oval shape is considered classic. It is the oval shape that is taken as the basis for correcting any other face shapes. Almost any hats are suitable for women with oval faces, so if you are a happy owner of a classic shape, feel free to choose hats, berets and hats to your taste, not forgetting about the features of your figure.

Triangular face shape

The triangular shape of the face is characterized by a rather wide forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow, as if elongated chin. Popular actresses with a triangular face are Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson. For women with this face shape, it is better to avoid overly tight knit hats and chunky knit hats, which will further enlarge the wide upper part of the face. But they will suit:

- small berets, worn asymmetrically so that the edge line of the beret (near the face) follows the chin line.

- non-bulky, but dense caps, set on the head in such a way as to balance the upper and lower parts of the face.

- Tapering hats with small brim.

- a hat with earflaps with ears not tied, but, on the contrary, hanging along the face.

Another nuance that evens out the proportions of a triangular face well is a hairstyle made of semi-long hair, framing the face with soft waves. If the hat is matched to a triangular face with this hairstyle, you can allow more voluminous, round shapes of hats and berets, and even slightly neglect the asymmetrical fit.

Reese Witherspoon's triangular face is corrected by a hairstyle: soft waves of asymmetrical long bangs hide the volume of the upper part of the face, and curls near the chin balance the top and bottom, so a knitted hat with a lapel, worn symmetrically, does not spoil the overall impression.

Round face shape

The round face is distinguished by smooth lines of transition from the forehead to the cheekbones and from the cheekbones to the chin. Usually the length of a round face is not much longer than its width. Another characteristic feature is that the widest part of the round face falls on the cheekbones. Among famous people, Kirsten Dunst and Selena Gomez have a round face.

Tight hats and bandanas, hats with no brims or small brims (cloche, low pill caps) that cover the forehead, as well as the styles of wide knitted hats will further emphasize the roundness of the face - it is better to exclude such hats from the wardrobe and pay attention to:

- voluminous knitted hats that lengthen the face.

- hats with visors, which must be "planted" asymmetrically on the head.

- berets, worn on a scythe, almost completely covering one ear and cheekbone.

- soft hats with a high, asymmetrical crown and medium-wide brim.

- fur hats like a papakha, hats with ears tied back.

Asymmetry is one of the ways to adapt a hat that does not fit the face shape. Kirsten Dunst is the owner of a round face, not only has she chosen not the most successful hat (small brim, rounded crown), she also pushed it over her forehead! But the asymmetrical fit on the head smooths out these nuances very gently, making the image not entirely disastrous and even cute.

Square face shape

A square face, despite being relatively proportional, can look overly wide, angular and heavy. Popular people with a square shape are Paris Hilton and Diane Kruger. For women with a square face shape are suitable:

- hats and berets, set on the top of the head so that the forehead remains open and the volume falls on the back of the head.

- Fedor's hat with asymmetrically curved brim.

- a fur hat with ears tied back.

Owners of a square face should avoid low fur hats like "papakha" and any other square hats with a fit low on the forehead.

Rectangular (or elongated) face shape

The rectangular shape is very similar to the square shape, but women with this face shape have a more elongated chin and a high forehead. Celebrities with rectangular faces - Sarah Jessica Parker, Olivia Wilde. A rectangular face should be corrected by decreasing in length and widening along the line of the cheekbones. Holders of this form are suitable:

- low knitted hats with a voluminous lapel, which are best worn, covering the forehead.

- berets set on the forehead with slight asymmetry

- low caps of medium volume.

- a hat with earflaps with ears bent back, low fur hats.

- wide-brimmed hats with a low crown.

But it is better to avoid very voluminous and high hats, fur dads and any other hats that can lengthen the face even more.

Women of fashion do not pamper too much attention with practical warm hats. Instead, modern women prefer to put on a hood over their heads, and the most persistent, even in severe frost, walk with their heads uncovered. If you count women's hats as a wardrobe detail that chronically does not suit you, this article will help you overcome such a radical rejection.

Fashion accessory or winter compliment

The hat has long ceased to play the role of an exclusively warming thing for women. Nowadays, it has acquired the status of a fashion accessory, which is an art to choose the right one. If earlier stylists recommended ladies to combine outfit items, focusing on colors, styles and materials, then over time the priorities have changed.

Fashion laws state that professionally selected clothing can not only emphasize the dignity of the figure, but also correct errors. Fans of "Fashionable Verdict" never tire of being amazed at the magical transformations of "Cinderellas" into elegant princesses.

Can you have the same overwhelming effect if you choose the right hat? Undoubtedly. The secret lies only in the selection criteria. These should be the individual proportions of the face, the size of the head and the complexion.

Determine the shape of the face

Following the expression of AS Pushkin, let us try to “check harmony with algebra”. To do this, you will need a mirror, a measuring tape, and paper with a pencil to record the results. Pull your hair into a bun, stand in front of a mirror, and take four easy measurements.

  1. Forehead length is the center distance measured between the curve of the left and right eyebrows.
  2. Face width. Measured between the most prominent areas of the cheekbones. Typically, these points are located at the level of the outer corners of the eyes.
  3. Chin length. Measurement is taken from the tip of the chin to the protrusion of the jaw at its widest part. The value is doubled.
  4. Face length is the vertical distance from the hairline to the lower border of the face.

Compare the measured values ​​with the basic types. However, in real life, a face that fits into a typical shape is rare. Most faces are endless variations of standard shapes. Try to determine which one most closely approximates your parameters. Knowing this will help you not only in choosing the right hat. A similar technique is used to determine the winning hairstyle, eyeglass frames, and jewelry.

Seven face types

  1. Oval. The width is one and a half times less than the length. Adequate forehead and chin.
  2. Round. The same face size horizontally and vertically.
  3. Triangular ("heart"). With a wide forehead and cheekbones, a narrowed chin.
  4. Square. The length of the face is approximately the same as the width. Square chin. Straight hairline.
  5. Rectangular. The length is much greater than the width. The forehead and chin are approximately equal.
  6. Pear-shaped. The chin is noticeably wider than the forehead.
  7. Diamond-shaped. The cheekbones are much wider than the forehead and chin.

How to find the right hat?

Having defined the shape of your face, arrange a fashion show with headdresses available at home, noting how they adjust your appearance. Perhaps after that you decide to go to the store for a new thing? Practical advice from experts will help you choose the hat of your dreams.

For oval

The symmetrical oval is taken as a standard for correcting all facial proportions different from it. All hats with rare exceptions go to the happy owners of this type. Even the most fastidious of them - turbans and headbands - will fit the oval.

Asymmetrical models and hats that cover the forehead will look great. Do not wear a hat deeply: leave a couple of centimeters between it and your eyebrows.

As for hats, the only condition is the shape of the crown: it should not be wider than the cheekbones. Square and strict geometric hats also do not suit an oval face.

Pay attention to:

  • hats with visors;
  • fedora;
  • vintage pill caps;
  • non-standard styles.

For round

Chubby women are often complex because of their chubby cheeks. They will help to level the excessive roundness:

  • miniature berets;
  • caps-caps;
  • stylish earflaps;
  • bulky knitted hats;
  • triangular Cossacks;
  • fur hats.

Tight knitted hats that cover the model's forehead do not go round the face. Vertical patterns are favored, as are pom-poms and bells.

The rule of asymmetry is successfully adapted even by an unsuitable headdress. Try to wear the beret obliquely so that it practically covers one ear.

For triangular

We advise owners of a heart-shaped face to try on the image of a flirty French woman. Hats and little berets will suit you like no one else. The best hat is the one that focuses the eye on the cheekbones. You will be embellished with loose-fitting models that cover your forehead. Give preference to:

  • berets and caps, worn on one side;
  • hats with hanging ears;
  • hats made of polar fox, fox fur, etc .;
  • bell hats;
  • hats with narrow brims.

Bulky hats that increase the already wide upper line of the face should be avoided. Asymmetrical cut is welcome.

For square

Despite the proportionality, such a face may seem unnecessarily heavy. You probably already realized that the main rule when choosing the right hat is the principle of contrast. To soften harsh features, choose hats with flowing silhouettes. Owners of this type will suit:

  • round knitted berets;
  • beanie hats;
  • caps with a miniature visor;
  • models with pigtails;
  • hats with wavy brim.

It is better to wear berets and caps, sliding back a little. In this case, they will redistribute the volume to the back of the head. Overly large decor should be avoided.

For rectangular

The rectangular shape resembles a square, except in more elongated proportions. The oblong face needs to be corrected by shortening it vertically and expanding it at the level of the cheekbones. Visually reduce the length of the face will help:

  • knitted hats with a wide lapel;
  • classic earflaps;
  • voluminous berets;
  • pipe clamps;
  • wide-brimmed hats with a low crown;
  • low fur clothes.

For such a face, you can pick up both an exquisite turban and a democratic cap with a visor. A wide horizontal knit will help expand a narrow face and give it a cute look. Successful solutions are shown in the photo.

Unsuitable options are high hats, fur hats: anything that lengthens the facial proportions.

For pear-shaped

It is required to balance the massive lower line of the face, visually expanding the upper part. In the cool autumn season, hats with curled up brim, for example, a boater or a fedora with a fairly wide crown, will do an excellent job with this mission.

A similar principle works for winter headwear. We advise you to choose wide knit snoods, hats and berets made of fluffy fur.

For diamond

This type of face is usually compared to a diamond. Volumetric textured styles will help to adequately cut it. For hat lovers, we recommend that you look at models with a medium crown, the width of which is narrower than your cheekbones. Wear them slightly tucked into the back of your head. Experiment with pipes, different colored caps.

If the face is not oblong, you can pick up a hat or other tall model of their fur. Head-hugging hats are best avoided.

If you think that you have comprehended the wisdom of “How to choose a hat according to the shape of your face,” we want to postpone the pleasant moment of truth a little - there are only a couple of nuances left, and you will be able to compete on equal terms with Evelina Khromchenko herself.

The visual perception of the appearance is influenced not only by the shape of the face, but also by some other points. So, even an ideal face oval requires correction if it is too full or, on the contrary, thin. In order to flawlessly choose a hat, you will have to take into account the size of the head. The smaller it is, the more free volumetric silhouettes will suit you.

To the full face

The most democratic headdress for chubby young ladies is a big beret. This is not the classic version worn by bohemian artists. Fashion designers are advised to choose stylish berets with a wide elastic band that covers the ears. They can be pushed over the eyebrows or worn on the side.

Ladies of Balzac age are not indifferent to hats with narrow brim. They visually narrow the face and give the look an elegant finish. Caps with wide cuffs and tight-fitting top are best avoided.

In winter, fur can create a real miracle. Domed hats trimmed with fur will make a plump face look more sophisticated.

To a thin face

For a thin face, advice begs to choose a headdress that makes it visually larger. But the main thing is not to overdo it. Slender girls with miniature faces need to be careful with voluminous hats, especially with small stature (less than 160 cm). In addition, asymmetry, small decor, large knitting are not recommended. Tall girls with a thin face will go with a hat with a pompom or ears, a collar cap, a fur earflaps.

We also advise you to pay attention to the latest hit of the season - themed Helsinki hats with imitation of animal ears on the crown. For naturalness, they are even trimmed with different natural fur: hare, fox, polar fox, etc.

Nose shape matters

The charm of snub-nosed girls will be emphasized by models with peaks bent up. A long straight nose will hide a hat or cap with a wide visor. Decorative elements will balance well the outstanding detail of the exterior: ears, brushes, etc.

Hats are indispensable for the rough Russian winter. Models are updated, come back, designers create new styles and volumes. With the onset of the new cold season, do not deny yourself the pleasure of going to a fashionable hats store.

When trying them on, do not settle for the small mirrors that sellers usually offer. To choose the right hat, it is advisable to see yourself in the mirror in full growth. Only then will you appreciate how harmoniously it fits the face, figure and overall image.

We hope that soon your loved ones will congratulate you on a successful purchase, especially since you now know everything about nodding shopping and even a little more.

Instructions

The round shape of the face differs in that its width and length are almost the same, and the lines of the cheekbones and chin are soft. Such a face usually has a youthful and friendly appearance, but the choice of a hat must be approached very carefully. After all, it should visually lengthen the face, in no way emphasizing its shape.

Stylists advise choosing hats for a round face that are not too tight on the head, with a high or medium waist. This, for example, can be a voluminous beret with a long hanging bottom or a jockey with a small peak. It is also important here not to pull the cap low over the forehead. The fact is that an open forehead and a rather large upper part of the cap will visually lengthen the face, giving it the shape of a regular oval. In addition, asymmetric hats are perfect.

Also, with the help of a hat, you can visually narrow your face on the sides, covering your cheeks. Here, the most advantageous options for hats will be earflaps with long ears, a hat-scarf or the newly actual "pipe". Ushanka has recently been constantly in trend in a wide variety of forms. Fur or knitted, with short or long ears, with or without a visor. Snood - the so-called tube scarf - wrapping around the head and neck, covers the face from the sides and, due to the volume under the chin, as if pulls it out. Fans of the Russian style can opt for a downy shawl, it is ideal for chubby beauties. The trendy bonnet also looks good.

A knitted hat with a high crown is also possible. It can be a hat in the form of a panama hat or a hat with small brim and medium height. Or, for example, a hat-helmet, which can be either or without. For those who like fur hats, the best choice would be a Kubanka hat or a sheaf hat.

An unsuccessful choice for the owner of a round face would be a small knitted hat that tightly fits the head and covers the forehead to the very eyebrows. A classic beret or a shaggy fur hat is also not the best option. Flat "pill caps" in retro style will not work at all. If you still really want to put on any of the above hats, then let loose strands of hair and bangs from under it.

A hat will be the perfect addition to your wardrobe if you consider some factors. For example, your height, figure, style of outerwear, colors. Holders of a round face are often short, so it is better to refuse large hats. It should match the style of clothing. So, a hat, a neat fur hat or beret is suitable for a classic coat, for a jacket - with earflaps, for a sheepskin coat - unusual hats that combine leather, fur and knitted elements. A headdress for any occasion of life is a knitted hat with a large knit or with an unusual ornament.

For brunettes, headdresses of cold colors, such as blue and purple, are perfect, for blondes - pastel, for example, peach or beige. Fair-haired beauties will face ash, pistachio, red - the color of dark chocolate or dark green. Classic black and white suits everyone.

It's almost winter outside, and for many women, putting on a hat is a real challenge. The fact is that we perceive it not as a fashionable element of our wardrobe, but as a necessary measure so as not to freeze our heads and ears. Moreover, the hat spoils the hairstyle and electrifies the hair. Many even believe that not a single headdress is suitable. It is a myth! When choosing a hat, it is not so much the color or style that is important, but the geometry of the face.... It is on her that a successful purchase depends, which will definitely delight you and help correct facial features.

Remember, even in a hat, you can look stylish and tasteful. It is in recent years that the headpiece has again become one of the central parts of a fashionable image, which attracts attention and reveals individuality. A properly selected hat is beautiful and functional! Believe me, in cold weather a girl in a woman's headdress looks much better than another one with frozen red ears and a nose.

Little of, the hat protects not only our body from colds, but also the hair from thinning and brittleness... They also suffer from cold air.

Ditch all the stereotypes and prejudices and buy yourself some hats that are perfect for the structure of your face. Then the onset of cold weather will not cause negative emotions in you, and many outfits will end with a wonderful accent in the form of a fashionable headdress.

Before shopping, you need to decide on the anatomy and features of the lines of the face. Traditionally, seven shapes are distinguished: oval, circle, square, triangle, rectangle, pear and rhombus. First, arm yourself with a tape-centimeter, paper and a pen and start measuring:

Compare the obtained measurements with the main types of faces. For convenience, you can sketch the resulting result schematically and compare with the pictures.

Typical parameters:

  1. round shape: approximate equality of the length and width of the face, rounded chin, arched hairline;
  2. oval: one and a half times as long as wide, not sharp, but rounded, approximately equal to the forehead;
  3. rectangular (elongated) face. The corners of the hairline and chin are quite sharp, longer in length than in width;
  4. a square is characterized by the equality of all measurements (of course, differences of several centimeters are allowed);
  5. diamond: sharp chin, the distance between the cheekbones is wider than the width of the forehead or chin;
  6. triangular shape ("heart"): pronounced cheekbones and a wide forehead with a pointed chin;
  7. "Pear" has a wide chin line and a small, narrow forehead.

Rules for choosing a hat "according to the shape of the face"

After you have decided on the shape of your face, you can go to the mall for new clothes. Let's take a look at some tips for choosing the right hat.

If your face is round

Our main task is to visually make the face more oval. For this it is necessary to open the forehead, which will lengthen the proportions and balance the image... Elongated beanie hats fashionable in recent seasons will cope with the task as well as possible. Large-knit hats are perfect if they do not fit the head, but on the contrary will "stand" in volume.

Pom-poms or vertical patterns will also lengthen outwardly, and stylish berets-caps (postmen), worn with a visor to one side, look advantageous if they are not pushed over the forehead. The same goes for French-style berets. For brave people, we also offer hats with a medium wide brim, but always with a high crown.

Chubby people can say a critical "no" to small tight-fitting hats, especially those lowered onto the forehead... Also, do not pay attention to hats without brims, bowlers, kerchiefs and earflaps with ears bent down. Low and wide hats emphasize the roundness even more.

Advice! If you like scarves, then feel free to try them on. The only "but": do not tighten it tightly around your head, but let it loosely on your shoulders and make a weak knot. The scarf emphasizes the natural beauty of Russian women, making the image sweet and innocent.

Hat for an oval face shape

It is believed that women with an oval face shape are incredibly lucky because any accessories are suitable for them. Indeed, it is not a problem for girls to pick up almost any hat due to the symmetry of the face lines. There is no external pulling task here, so you can easily push the hat down over your forehead or choose a fairly tight-fitting hat.

However, referring to permissiveness, girls with an oval face should not neglect some of the rules. In particular, do not lengthen the features too much by putting on hats with huge pompoms on top... Do not get carried away with pulling the headdress up to the very eyebrows: at least 1-2 cm should remain between them and the hat.

For the rest, you can experiment and try on berets, hats with brims, caps, and earflaps. However, do not forget about the peculiarities of your figure in general, do not overload the image.

Square shape

The square as a face shape is sufficiently proportional and does not require unnecessary adjustments. but when buying a headdress, you should not focus on the width of the cheekbones or chin... Better to smooth out the slight angularity of the features. Therefore, pay attention to the following options:

Contraindications for girls with a square face are available, but not in large numbers. The main rule is do not pull the headdress over the forehead and avoid square shapes in it... Therefore, you should abandon hats, low fur hats, bowlers and hats with large brim.

"Triangular" face

The shape of the "heart" is cute and attractive in its own way, and you can correct it by highlighting the cheeks and cheekbones. You should not add extra volume on top, so low, narrow beanie will come in handy. However do not choose too tight-fitting thin hats, they can also add visual volume... At the same time, it should not be too loose, so avoid large knits.

Therefore, choose a hat made of thick, stretchy knitwear. Classic berets and postal caps can and should be worn, but worn asymmetrically or slightly pulled over the forehead. An ear-flap can be worn without bending your ears: let them hang freely and warm you. When it comes to hats, be selective because brims can further enhance the effect of a wide forehead.

Rectangular shape

It is very similar to a square, but still the facial features are more elongated in length. The main task in this case is visually reduce the length and focus on the cheekbones, as if expanding their line... At the same time, it is advisable to smooth out the corners. Holders of an elongated shape are suitable:

Try to avoid hats in your wardrobe that are even more capable of lengthening the face or emphasizing angular shapes, in particular, oversized or high beanies decorated with pompoms, square fur hats and papa.

Pear-shaped face

"Pears" are known to lack volume in the upper part of the head. With the right hat, it is easy to correct the shape of the face, outwardly expanding the forehead line. We advise you to take a closer look at the following options:

Rhombus shape

An important rule of thumb when buying a hat for a girl with a diamond-shaped face is that the headgear should not be narrower than the line between the cheekbones... Better even wider than it. In this way, you can compensate for a narrow forehead and give a rounded face to the face.

An absolute taboo for the owners of the "diamond" are all kinds of headscarves and tight-fitting sports headwear. Choose only voluminous berets, caps, panamas. Pay attention to the texture of the yarn: air braids, large loops will visually add volume... Beanies made of thick threads, complemented by a large fur pom-pom or a voluminous lapel, will also look good. Knitted turbans are a fashionable discovery of recent seasons. They are the best fit for the owners of the "diamond".
