Wear a sun hat that suits your face with these tips

Wearing a sun hat during summer and on holuday isn't just stylish, they're practical too.

They help to shade your eyes stopping them being strained in the sun and they can also protect your head and face from harmful rays penetrating deep within.

But finding the right one for your face is important too - you want it to look chic whilst protecting you too.

We have the tips to share with you on which shape hats are going to best suit your face shape.

Oval: You're lucky as you can wear mostly any hat shape. The most flattering shapes however are those with large brims.

Round: You want to elongate the face with your choice of hat, so choose a tall one with a shallow crown to give it length or try peaked, slanted or creased crowns. Brims that are wider than your face help to bring balance and make your face look narrower by comparison.

Angular: If you’ve got angular facial features, such as a square jaw or triangular nose, then look for hats to soften and complement those lines; think sweeping or floppy brims.

Long: Go with a flared, wider brim and deep crown to widen and shorten the face.

Heart Shaped: You'll want to draw attention upwards as the chin is the narrowest point on your face, so avoid wide brims that will make it look even more narrow. Try a small hat or something with an eye-catching trim.

Rectangle: Add width to your face with wide, low styles or flared crowns.

Top Tip: If your eyes are your favourite feature on your face wear a Fedora Hat as the front angle draws attention to them.
