Welcome to our hat finder!

Here you can finally find clear answers to the question: Which hat style suits my face shape? The myth that certain face shapes cannot wear hats has been around for far too long. The only thing that matters for each face shape is to choose the right headgear– then nothing will stand in the way of your stylish appearance!

There is one simple rule: The shape of the hat or cap you choose should be the opposite of your own face shape. We have compiled descriptions and recommendations for oval, round, square and heart-shaped faces. Already know the shape of your face?

Then use our hat finder: Click on the suggested product categories for women or men and be inspired by our selection designed to help you choose your dream hat or your new favourite cap!

Oval

Longer than wide

Round chin

Fairly straight lines from the temple to the jaw

Recommendation:
  • The so-called ‘hat face’ – can wear virtually any style
  • The only rule: don’t make your face look too long
  • Better to choose hats with a shorter crown and/or a wider brim

Round

Very symmetrical

Wider/fuller cheeks

Round chin

Recommendation:
  • Make the face appear longer
  • Do not choose models with rounded crowns or wide brims
  • Choose square and angular hats (with crown indentations) to balance out the shape of the face
  • Asymmetric shapes jazz up your outfit: high crowns, angled brims
  • Hats also look good worn at an angle

Square

Striking features

Pronounced jawline

Pronounced cheekbones

Broad forehead

Recommendation:
  • Flattering and soft shapes
  • Asymmetry can soften straight lines
  • Do not lengthen facial proportions with high crowns
  • Do not choose close-fitting models (these make the forehead and cheeks look even wider)

Heart-shaped

Broad forehead

Pointed chin

Pronounced cheekbones

Recommendation:
  • Do not emphasise the broad forehead and pointed chin
  • Wear soft hat shapes with a small brim
  • Choose hats with a high crown to make the face appear longer
  • Do not choose close-fitting models (these make the forehead and cheeks look even wider)
