We can almost see summer from where we stand and it’s looking HOT! Many if the experts suggest covering up to reduce sun exposure and we have to agree but for a different reason. Not only are hats pretty much one of the greatest ways to protect against the weather, but they make one hell of an accessory too. You may be reading this and shaking your head,”Hats? Not my jam.” If you have designated yourself as “not a hat person” then you aren’t aware of how to buy the perfect hat. That’s where McCoo’s comes in.
Buy A Shape That Fits Your Face
Everyone’s facial structure is different but for the purpose of haircuts, make-up, and hats, four facial types have been created. There are a ton of resources out there to help you determine your face shape but a quick way is to draw the following shapes on a picture and see how the angles of your bone structure line up.
DIAMOND FACE SHAPE: A moderate to wide brim is best for you!
OBLONG FACE SHAPE: Try hats with a brim like a baseball hat, or a cap like newsboys hat.
ROUND FACE: You can rock angular hat and asymmetrical shapes.
SQUARE FACE: Look for softer designs.
Buy A Hat That’s The Right Size
For the best results, grab a tape measure and have someone else measure your head. The tape measure should be placed around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and the ears. It should wrap around the widest part of the back of the head and all the way back to the front And BAM, you have your hat size, use it wisely!
