How to Choose a Hat That Suits Each Face Shape

You may love a hat because of its color, material, or style, but if it doesn't suit your face, it will never feel right.
At Greatcaps, we believe that every face deserves a hat that complements its unique features.
Let's explore how to choose the right hat for each face shape so that you don't just wear a hat but also "wear the aura"!

1. Oval Face - Oval Face

Characteristics: Balanced proportions, a slightly wide forehead, and a taper down to the chin.

Suitable hats:

• Almost anything! This is the easiest face shape to choose a hat for.
• Fedora, bucket hat, dad hat, beanie, or snapback all enhance harmony.

Greatcaps' suggestion:
Try a wide-brimmed personality or a unique snapback, because you can "handle" any style.

2. Round Face

Characteristics: Full cheekbones; face length and width are almost equal.
Suitable hats:

• Hats with sharp angles help create the feeling of a longer face.
• Fedora, classic baseball cap, high-crowned hat.

Avoid round-brimmed hats and tight-fitting beanies.

Greatcaps' suggestion:
"Lengthen" your face with a high-crown fedora or vintage baseball cap.

3. Square Face

Characteristics: Sharp jawline, wide forehead, square chin.
Suitable hats:

• Hats with soft lines to balance the angles.
• Bowler hat, beret, wide-brimmed hat with rounded brim.

Greatcaps' suggestion:
A French beret or soft, rounded bucket will highlight your style while still being gentle.

4. Heart-Shaped Face

Characteristics: Wide forehead, pointed chin.
Suitable hats:

• Medium-brimmed or droopy-brim hats.
• Cloche hat, newsboy cap, lightweight bucket hat.

Greatcaps' suggestion:
Choose a denim or corduroy newsboy cap to accentuate your gentle yet modern features.

5. Long Face

Characteristics: long face, narrow forehead, and chin.
Suitable hats:

• Wide-brimmed and low-brimmed hats to shorten the length of the face.
• Wide-brim hat, floppy hat, hats with horizontal patterns.

Avoid high-top hats and small-brimmed hats.

Greatcaps' suggestion:
A retro wide-brimmed hat or cap with horizontal patterns will be the perfect "spirit assistant."

Pro Tips from Greatcaps:

• Don't choose according to trends - choose according to your face. A hat that fits your face will make you more confident than any trend.

• Try wearing it with your usual hairstyle. Hair also greatly affects the overall feeling when wearing a hat.

• Choose a color that flatters your skin. Don't forget that the color tone of the hat can also make your face brighter or darker.
