02 Jan 10 tips for wearing HATS

1  Make sure the hat actually fits you!  Measure your head, and the inside of the hat.  If the hat is too small,
it may give you a headache and it will probably look out of shape when you wear it.

2  We wear straw hats for spring/summer… and felt hats for autumn/winter.

3  NEVER wear a hat on the back of the head (unless it’s a 1960’s pill-box hat) – We want to see the whole of your hat and the gorgeous trim.

4  Wear your hat forward on the head, just above the eyebrows and tilt it slightly to the left or right. It looks more stylish and much sexier!…..This is a must for the boys as well!

5  Larger framed women look gorgeous in large brimmed hats – It is all about proportion – balancing your shoulders and the hips – as I am also a stylist I can help you look fabulous!

6  Small women should avoid really large brimmed hats – We can’t see you under the hat!  Small, perky, hats with a trim that points upwards gives the illusion that we are taller – (I should know, I am only 158cms!)

7  Women who wear glasses  – Try to avoid down turned brims. It can look very busy around the face with the glasses, the brim and the trim on the hat.

8  You look more stylish if your hat complements your shoes and handbag. Try matching exactly, or at least toning in with each other.

9  There is no such thing as HAT HAIR!  Don’t take your hat off until you get home. The hat is part of the whole outfit.
