Choose Wisely: Hampton Classic Hats

Nothing is as important as picking the right hat for Grand Prix Sunday at the Hampton Classic. This is your moment to get it right and be forever memorialized in the pages of the glossies, or to get it wrong and... be forever memorialized in the pages of the glossies. And it's not as simple to choose the right hat as you might expect. There are considerations. Like the shape of your face. (Honestly, we had no idea, but these folks are pretty serious about this suff). Herewith, some advice on matching your face/head to your hat:

Oval Face: Almost any hat can be worn. (Lucky you.) Wear them straight across the brow or straight across your hairline as fashion or mood demands. However, watch out that the crown is never narrower than your cheekbones. This is for all hat types.Round Face: Avoid "flower-pot" hats. Brims should be worn on and angle, not straight. Asymmetrical lines are very useful. The crown of the hat must not be narrower than your face unless it is balanced by the trim.Square Face: Slant the brim of your hats, or simply tilt your hat. Wear hats with asymmetrical shapes. Try wearing earrings when wearing hats.Triangular Face: The same rules apply to triangular faces as oval faces. Almost any hat can be worn. Wear them straight across the brow or straight across your hairline as fashion or mood demands. However, watch out that the crown is never narrower than your cheekbones. This is for all hat types.Oblong Face: Avoid narrow and tall hats. Brims can be worn,do experiment. Balance your shoulders and the rest of your body.
