For those with a square-shaped face or those who don’t have height on their side, hats are still a possibility but you will need something to add a look of fullness. Hats that have a high crown with a wide brim will work best. You can also try a hat with a shallow brim dip in the front to help balance out your features and create an illusion of fullness.
Heart-shaped face types benefit from choosing hats that soften the angular facial features and pull attention away from the jawline. A wide, medium crown with a curved brim or an asymmetrical brim will flatter the face.
A diamond face shape is a little narrower at the top (forehead) and bottom (chin), but it’s wider in the middle, which makes this face type compatible with many different hat styles. You can find a style that suits your personality by trying out our asymmetrical hats, newsboy caps or pliable brim fedoras.

For those with oblong faces, it’s best to go with a hat that has rounded features and a brim that is not too long, like newsboy or flat caps. You should also avoid hats that are too tall, as they will exaggerate your elongated features. If you have protruding ears, it’s best to avoid anything that is too small and has a slim pinch in the crown or has a really deep snap as this will highlight your ears.
