Despite the abundance fashion accessories and shoes, autumn-winter season rarely brings fashionistas pleasure, and all because of the forced need to wear hats. It is not often that a headdress is perceived by women as an element of style or at least as a functional detail of an outfit that protects the head from the cold. Usually berets and hats are considered harmful things that electrify the hair and spoil the hairstyle.

However, if you choose your headwear wisely, many problems will disappear by themselves, and your winter wardrobe will become more varied and brighter! In addition, with the help of a hat or cap you can not only create a unique image and keep warm, but also adjust the shape of your face, so why not take advantage of this opportunity?

How many hats should there be?

This issue is decided individually, however, the more hats you have in your wardrobe, the easier it is to match them with outerwear. General rules here are:

- classic brimmed hats - fedora, slouch, cloche - are worn with coats, trench coats, cape coats or leather jackets.

- suitable for down jackets and similar jackets knitted hats and berets various styles, as well as some models of caps and fur hats.

— you should not combine fur hats with fur coats, especially if the fur coat and hat are made of the same fur. This combination is considered obsolete.

— tall fur hats “a la Russe” are good with fitted classic coats and military-style coats.

- to fashionable oversized coat or “cocoon”, voluminous knitted hats are suitable.

Most fashionable image current season: oversized or “cocoon” coat, sneakers and voluminous knitted hat

- fur hats with earflaps go harmoniously with leather and suede jackets, down jackets, various models coats and thick cardigans.

When choosing a headdress, it is important to be guided not so much by personal preferences or fashion, but by such parameters as height, build and face shape.

- the more corpulent the figure, the more voluminous the hat should be. This will balance the upper and lower body.

- tall and slender girls with an oval face shape can afford almost any headdress. The only nuance that should be taken into account is whether the color of the hat matches the tone of the skin, hair, eyes and the image as a whole.

— petite women should avoid bulky hats and large-brimmed hats.

All faces can be divided into five types: oval, triangular, round, square and rectangular (or elongated).

Oval face shape

The oval shape is considered classic. It is the oval shape that is taken as the basis when correcting any other face shape. Almost any hats are suitable for women with oval faces, so if you are the lucky owner classic shape, feel free to choose caps, berets and hats to suit your taste, while not forgetting about the characteristics of your figure.

Triangular face shape

The triangular shape of the face is characterized by a rather wide forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow, as if elongated chin. Popular actresses with a triangular face are Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson. Women with a similar face shape should avoid tight-fitting hats made of thin knitwear and bulky hats. large knit, which will further enhance the wide upper part of the face. But they will suit:

- small berets, worn asymmetrically so that the edge line of the beret (near the face) follows the line of the chin.

- bulky but dense hats, placed on the head in such a way as to balance the upper and lower parts of the face.

- hats that taper towards the top with small brims.

- a hat with earflaps with ears that are not tied, but, on the contrary, hanging along the face.

Another nuance that evens out the proportions well triangular face- a hairstyle of semi-long hair that frames the face with soft waves. If the hat is matched to a triangular face, designed with such a hairstyle, you can allow more voluminous, round shapes of hats and berets and even slightly neglect the asymmetrical fit.

Reese Witherspoon's triangular face is corrected by her hairstyle: soft asymmetrical waves long bangs hide the volume of the upper part of the face, and the curls near the chin balance the top and bottom, so a knitted hat with a lapel, worn symmetrically, does not spoil the overall impression.

Round face shape

A round face is distinguished by smooth lines of transition from the forehead to the cheekbones and from the cheekbones to the chin. Usually length round face not much larger than its width. Another characteristic feature is the widest point of the face round shape falls on the cheekbones. Among famous people, Kirsten Dunst and Selena Gomez have a round face.

Tight-fitting hats and bandanas, hats without brims or with small brims (cloches, low pillbox hats) that cover the forehead, as well as the styles of wide knitted hats will further emphasize the roundness of the face - it is better to exclude such hats from the wardrobe and pay attention to:

- voluminous knitted hats that lengthen the face.

- hats with visors that need to be “planted” on the head asymmetrically.

- berets worn obliquely, almost completely covering one ear and cheekbone.

- soft hats with a high, asymmetrical crown and medium-width brim.

- fur hats like papakhas, hats with ears tied back.

Asymmetry is one of the ways to adapt a headdress that does not suit your face shape. Kirsten Dunst is the owner of a round face; not only did she choose a hat that was not the best (small brim, rounded crown), she also pulled it down on her forehead! But the asymmetrical fit on the head very gently smooths out these nuances, making the image not completely disastrous and even cute.

Square face shape

A square face, despite its relative proportionality, may look overly wide, angular and heavy. Popular figures with a square shape are Paris Hilton and Diane Kruger. For women with a square face shape:

- hats and berets, planted on the top of the head so that the forehead remains open and the volume falls on the back of the head.

- fedora hat with asymmetrically curved brim.

- fur hat with ears tied back.

Those with a square face shape should avoid low fur hats such as papas and any other square headwear that sits low on the forehead.

Rectangular (or elongated) face shape

The rectangular shape is very similar to the square, but women with this face shape have a longer chin and high forehead. Celebrities with a rectangular face shape - Sarah Jessica Parker, Olivia Wilde. Rectangular face should be adjusted, reducing in length and expanding along the cheekbones. For those with this shape, the following will suit:

- low knitted hats with a voluminous lapel, which are best worn to cover the forehead.

- berets set on the forehead with slight asymmetry

- low caps of medium volume.

- a hat with earflaps with ears bent back, low fur hats.

- wide-brimmed hats with a low crown.

But it is better to avoid very voluminous and high hats, fur hats and any other hats that can lengthen the face even more.

During the cold season, going outside without a hat is very undesirable. In our article we will tell you how to choose a hat according to the face shape of a girl and a child and how to combine it with women’s outerwear.

Hat and face shape

All hairstyles and decorations are selected according to the shape of the face; accordingly, this also applies to the headdress. It is easiest for a woman with an oval face shape; it is considered ideally correct, and any headdress will suit her: beret, helmet, scarf, hat; You can even wear a tight-fitting knitted “bathtub”.

For those with a triangular face, it is very important to cover the wide part - the forehead, so we buy hats that are tight-fitting, preferably even, without convex patterns or pompoms. Avoid “pool caps,” which are overly tight-fitting styles.

For a girl with a round face, models with wide brims, large and voluminous berets, asymmetrical headwear, the main thing is to avoid tight-fitting models. Also, headscarves are unlikely to be suitable for a round face.

Which hat should a girl with a square face choose? The simplest solution is to buy a good earflap hat. There are both sporty and elegant options - a helmet trimmed with... natural fur, For example. Avoid very wide brims and hats with excessively low brims.

This season, a retro model - a women's bowler hat - has become very popular. Leading designers decorate it with fur or rhinestones, complement it with feathers and bead embroidery.

A correctly selected hat for a down jacket is not only a guarantee of warmth and comfort, but also a stylish appearance. Ideally, it should meet the following criteria:

• match the color or at least the shade (if a contrasting model is chosen, then you need to choose a scarf to match it);
• to a down jacket or winter jacket You can also choose a sports model, possibly with interesting drawings– kamea, Vorix and others.

How to choose fur hat for the winter with a fur coat or a coat with a natural fur collar? Simple models will look cheap and unnatural, and fur ones are very difficult to choose. How to choose the right mink hat, determine the quality of the fur:

• fur should not tear easily and come away from the fabric - this is a sign of poor workmanship;

Choosing a hat for a child

Choosing a hat for a child is always not an easy task. It should not only be soft and warm, but also beautiful and comfortable. Often children do not like to wear it because “they get prickly” or “the head itches.” To avoid such statements, buy clothes for your baby only from natural fabrics. You can also cheat and buy a hat decorated with the image of your favorite cartoon or game character - worms in wormix, Masha and the bears, etc.

The baby needs to choose a model with ears so that the wind does not blow through the baby. Enough stylish models at Kiko, Kerry or Travaille. We advise you to try to combine models of hats and scarves - then the child will not only be warm, but also in style. Although the best solution is a windproof jumpsuit so that you can wear it without a hat at all.

Useful tips :

• if you want to buy an expensive, say, seal or muskrat fur hat, but funds are limited, buy a rabbit one, it is no worse than other fur, but much cheaper;

Stylists distinguish three types of facial features. Facial features include the shape of the face itself and the lines that form the shape of the nose, eyes, lips, eyebrows.

The first type is pointed facial features, like Alessandra Ambrosio and Miroslava Duma. The facial features of actresses are formed by straight, pointed lines.

Girls with pointed facial featuresHats with straight lines and geometric designs are suitable. Your hats should be formed by thin loops that from a distance look like a single whole (flat knitted texture). They can be made from smooth, dense wool of fine knitting. They can be laconic, they can be with decorative flower, but then the shape of the flower should be pointed, as in the photo.

The second type is combined facial features, like Jennifer Garner and Piper Pirabo. The facial features of actresses are formed by straight lines and arcs.

For girls with combination facial features, hats with straight and soft lines are suitable. These can be knitted hats of different textures: flat, embossed, fine knitting, coarse knitting. They can be laconic or with decorative elements. Also, in addition to hats, a variety of caps, turbans, and berets are perfect for you like no other. You don’t have to stop your choice only on hats and experiment.

Third type - soft features faces like Ashley Olsen, Olga Kurylenko. The actresses' facial features are formed by soft lines and arcs.

Girls with soft facial featuresHats with soft lines and arcs are suitable. These will be hats with a relief knitted texture, voluminous hats. The patterns and texture of the hat should be soft, the decorative elements should be smooth, the pompoms should be round and in one piece, without plucks or sharp lines.

In addition to the shape of facial features, when choosing a hat, you need to pay attention to knitting scale(flat small loops, large loops turning into a relief pattern, medium weaving), weaving scale should match the scale (size) of your facial features (large, medium, small).

For example, Ashley Olsen has large facial features and large knitted hats suit her. There may be small knitted hats, but with large decorative element, for example, a flower or a pompom. Reese Witherspoon has small facial features and fine knitted hats or hats that fit the shape of her face, without making it larger, without large details or pompoms, suit her.

If you have a round face , like Kirsten Dunst, then pay attention to hats with vertical elements: models with elongated ears, models decorated with diagonal or vertical lines. These elements will lengthen your face and they will draw it harmonious oval . Also, do not tie the scarf close to your face.

If you have a long face , like Sarah Jessica Parker, then pay attention to the hats that will draw horizontal line across the face. For example: a hat worn low on the eyebrows and a scarf tied close to the chin will reduce your face to harmony. If you don't wear hats, earmuffs are a good choice - they will widen your face. Also, a cap or bell hat with a slightly widening brim will hide the length of the face and widen it a little.

Cap color

Choose the color of the hat based on your color type:

• Bright color typeeveryone's hats will fit bright colors(white, black, red, ruby, neon blue, violet, purple, pink, green, black).

Choosing the right hat color

It would seem that it could be easier than buying a comfortable and practical hat. But everything is somewhat more complicated. Earlier, the question, for example, what color to choose a beret, was not even raised, because the choice of colors was not so wide - ladies were offered only white, beige and dark shades. And looking at today's diversity http://hatsandcaps.ru/shop/zhenskie-berety, you can easily get confused. As with the choice of clothing, the color scheme in which the headdress is made is very important. The same hat in different colors can look completely different - an accessory can successfully complement the image or create an inharmonious ensemble.

Modern trends

So, what do the podiums offer us? It seems that the designers remembered all the colors at once, making their shows rich and colorful. We can say that in the 2016 season the emphasis is on color. For example, classic wide-brimmed models surprise bright colors- red, turquoise, coral hats are in fashion. Bright scarves are replete with designs with floral motifs, images of animals and birds. But the favorites of the season are knitted hats- here funny prints, patterns and sometimes the most inharmonious ones coexist peacefully side by side. Fashionable colors for the hat - emerald, scarlet, ruby, than richer color- especially stylish look will be able to create.

How to choose the right color for a hat

Just a few years ago, the basic rule for choosing the color of a headdress was simple - the color of the hat had to match the color of the outerwear. Today this advice is not relevant. Moreover, if the outerwear has calm, muted tones, then the hat can be chosen in flashy shades, creating some kind of accent. For many, the favorite colors of hats are black, gray, and brown. It’s so convenient to buy one hat and combine it with any wardrobe. Perhaps there is some truth in this, but do not forget that the black color for a hat will immediately highlight all the minor imperfections of the face - wrinkles, circles under the eyes, and with a gray headdress there is a risk of creating a too “mousy” image.

Choosing a hat by hair color

Another a win-win- choose a hat according to your hair color.

• Blondes, dyed or natural, are best suited to grey, blue or pink.
• Brunettes can choose burgundy, red or blue hats.
• Blue or chocolate shades are suitable for brown-haired women.
• The choice of owners of red hair is a green, golden or yellow hat.
