The most important thing is to know the right size. To find out, take a tape measure and put it once around your own head. It is important that the tape measure is centered on the forehead! The measured number of centimeters (e.g. 59) is your own head size.

Now that you know your size, it's time to choose the right cut for your face shape. For a round face, a hat with an angular shape is recommended, such as a trilby or fedora. These balance the round shape of the head and harmonize very well in the overall picture. A narrow and long face, on the other hand, needs a hat that is cut a little wider and has a crown that is not quite as high. Pork Pies or Diamonds would be best suited for this.

The oval face has it the easiest of all. Its slight, balanced curves make for a fitting overall look. People with this head shape can wear almost all hats, as almost all cuts harmonize with this face shape. Finally, you just have to choose the material. This depends on what you need the hat for. For summer and the beach, straw hats of all kinds are the best, due to their air permeability and sun protection. For going out, for the cold days or as a simple but elegant weather protection, wool felt is the best choice.
