The hat is one of the oldest accessories that accompany the woman. It serves to adorn the head, but also to protect it from the cold and the sun. It's a great ally to make the look more interesting.
"Style and personality" are the two words that personal and corporate image consultant Lilian Riskalla uses to define what the hat adds to a woman's look.
So much so that many famous and even princesses and queens do not stop wearing the hat whenever possible.
Where can and where can not use
However, the hat is an accessory that cannot be worn everywhere. Therefore it is always good to pay attention to the places you may or may not adopt the accessory. Below is a list of places to use and not to use, according to Lilian:
Where to use:
- Day and outdoor events like weddings, lunches, charity parties, teas
- Festivals and shows that take place by day;
- Day trips on cold or sunny days;
- Beach;
- Field.
Where not to use:
- At the table to eat;
- Closed places such as theater, cinema, concerts;
- Workplaces, unless it is a safety hat or part of the uniform;
- Dinners or other indoor events;
- In the church and other religious temples.
Hat Types: How to Use Each Template
Find out which hat models are most commonly used and learn how to fit them into the look:
Panama hat
The panama hat, contrary to what the name says, does not come from Panama, its origin is Ecuadorian. The model is traditionally clear with closed wefts made from the straw of the Carludovica palmata plant.
This is a hat that matches the Brazilian lifestyle and so is so popular here. It's great to wear on the beach and gives a beachy girl touch when added to any look. If you want to give this impression, bet on the template. For consultant Lilian, this is the ideal model for women who have a more sporty, casual or preppy style.
A perfect look to wear with the panama hat is denim shorts, a thin, well-colored fabric shirt and a flats.
Fedora Hat
The fedora model is very similar to panama, what distinguishes it is being made of felt. Appeared in the early twentieth century, it was initially widely used by men of the time as part of the male costume.
The fedora hat is ideal for making various combinations because it is a very democratic model and suits many styles. When used, it gives the look an air of sophistication and makes it look more bohemian. If you have a more boho style, this is a great choice for you, according to the consultant.
Match the hat with pants and long skirts. If you want to make the look more diverse, bet on a delicate dress.
Coconut hat
Originally from the late nineteenth century, the bowler hat has the roundest crown and well curved brim. It is also a hat worn a lot by men, especially in formal situations, right after World War I.
The bowler hat requires style to wear, but if you want to create a more casual look the model looks perfect. Wear on occasions like rides, shows and festivals and make your look, both winter and summer, look more grunge.
To make a look with the hat use black pieces, but if you don't want to leave the look loaded, complement with lighter colors or patterned pieces.
Clochet hat
The most romantic among the models was relentlessly used by Gossip Girl's character Blair. It emerged between the 1920s and 1930s and was used by the most independent women of the time. Its shape is similar to the bell and is characterized by having the flaps fallen.
A reference in any romantic wardrobe, the clochet hat should be worn if you want to look your little girl. Most models even add delicate bows and colors to match this style more. Use at night events that call for a more delicate look.
Dresses and delicate pieces look beautiful with the hat. If you don't want to look so doll-like, wear sexier clothes like scarpin and leather jacket.
Floppy hat
With large flaps and well rounded crown, the floppy hat is romantic and stripped at the same time. Widely used by hippies in the 60s and 70s, the model is the darling among many women and super used in festivals.
Its hippie-chic atmosphere brings a touch of elegance to the look. It's great for warmer climates, just know which model to use. It is also perfect for looks for cold days, with coats and heavier pieces. The important thing is to match it properly and balanced in the look.
To make a perfect look with it, wear it with dresses.If it's cold, bet on the hat along with a fake fur coat.
Which hat model suits your face
Each hat best fits a face type, so it is important first that you know how to distinguish your face type, then just read the tips below and choose your hat.
Oval face
If you have a more oval face, that is, larger cheeks and a narrower chin, you should prefer hats in which both the flap and the crown are of proportional size. Do not choose hats with a very large or very small brim, so avoid using the coconut or floppy model that has too wide a brim.
Round face
For the rounder faces the tip is to wear hats with the crown between medium and high and the flaps should also be proportional to the size of the crown. Round-faced women should avoid the cloche model.
Square face
Women with square faces with longer chin and foreheads should prefer models with wider flaps and rounded to medium-to-high tops. The floppy model is best suited for this type of face.
Triangular face
Narrow chins and the rest of the broader face define the triangular face, and women with such a face should prefer hats with rounder, rounder flaps and smaller sizes. The bowler hat is great for this type of face, as panama and fedora should be avoided because they do not have a rounded crown.

Tips not to miss when wearing your hat
For consultant Lilian, the best way to combine the hat into a look is to match the style of your outfit. "If you're wearing a structured suit or dress, choose a structured hat," he suggests. Always consider your personal style to form a harmonious look with the hat.
It is important to always pay attention to the time and place of the event you are going to and so never miss the time to choose the ideal model. And yes, the hat is for all women, says Lilian. “As long as the woman has style, attitude and hold the look,” he adds.
However, consider the following tips for tailoring the hat to your physical type:
Low Stature: choose models with medium or short flap, this helps to balance the body.
Overweight: the top of the hat should be high and the flaps medium, which will make both the face and body thinner.
Clear Skin: give preference to lighter colored hats such as white, beige, gray and pink. It is also worth betting on shades like black, purple and blue.
Brown skin: create a contrast between the hat's hue and your skin, so prefer colors like beige, brown, red, yellow and green.
