How to Choose the Right Hat

Click Tracker | May 13, 2019

Here is another question in our series of Frequently Asked Questions for women's hats.

How do I know which women's straw or wool hat is best for me?

There are a few key attributes that can be used to determine the best shape, color and brim length for your look. 

First off we start with the shape of your face. Discover your face shape with our StyleFinder.

Secondly, we look for hair length. This would help us narrow the search if your hair is styled at a longer or shorter length by selecting a brim that will proportionally complement the length of your hair.  

Lastly, we look for the best color for your complexion and hair color. You don't want to choose a hat that would wash you out. So choose colors or shades of colors that you already have in your wardrobe. 

Our team of fit consultants tries on each hat to best understand fit and shape. Let us help you find the right style and fit for your specific needs.

Size Guide

How to measure your head

We prefer that you measure your head in centimeters because it tends to be more accurate than inches. Measure several times to ensure accuracy.

step 1

To measure your head size where your hat will sit, gather a cloth measuring tape or a simple string.

step 2

Start at the back of your head by gently wrapping the measuring tape or string towards your forehead a half inch (temple area) above your ears. Meet both ends of the measuring tape or string at the center of your forehead above the eyebrows.

step 3

Mark where those two points meet and measure the distance between the start and end points. If using a string, measure the start and end points against a ruler to find your hat size. Use this measurement to determine your hat size. Hat sizes vary by style, so be sure to check the unique fit for each.
