Choosing the Correct Hat for your Body Type

[RJR]

First of all, welcome to the lounge. I see you've belonged for a bit but have not posted much. As Scott said, the one your wearing in your avatar looks good on you. The main thing about hat wearing is to find one you like and feel comfortable in and wear the hell out of it without consideration of what others think. As is often said around here, "wear the hat , don't let it wear you".

There are guides out that call for particular hat styles in regards to ones facial shape. I've never given them consideration and I don't think many here have either. I own and wear everything from a low crown, 2" brim hat to a 4" brim cowboy hat with a 6 1/2" open crown, creased to about 5 1/2"

Here is one such guide as an example. https://www.hats.com/face-shapes

I agree...wear the hat.

Bama speaketh the Gospel. Buy something you like and will wear, then wear it. Eventually, you'll try something else, but even if you don't...

...And girls look good in anything. My wife looks way better in my hats than I do.

Welcome to the Lounge. I agree with the sentiments and advice given here. I like the hat in your avatar as it goes well with your face. In the final analysis you will wear what you are comfortable in and learn to ignore the critics. Just enjoy the experience

I'd say big almost floppy hats would suit you. And I agree that you look good in your avatar.
Do whatever you're happy with!

Thank you everyone for your support and welcoming messages, I love hats and think they look so cool, that is why I started wearing this hat, a friend of mine gifted me a hat last year and that is how I got started, then I purchased a hat (the one on my avatar) it's a whool hat so here in FL it can get a little too hot to wear at times, I have been thinking about investing in a straw fedora I really like Stetson and Goorin, they seem to be pretty awesome, the only hat I own is a Walrus, however, I think I am leaning towards a straw or cooler hat for FL. now that @Wesslyn mentioned a floppy hat, I think I may need to consider that. I love floppy hats! <3

Welcome to the Lounge, have you heard of the Dutch Jazz singer, Caro Emerald? Here she is showing you how cool a floppy hat looks.

Sounds like you're hooked. A little advice........clear space for all the hats you are now going to acquire. Once you are hooked it gets out of hand quickly.

Welcome to the lounge. Wider brims with lower, tapered crowns seem to look pretty good on women. IMHO like that Akubra Riverina. Another good option is Beret. Don't know a single woman who doesn't look good in a beret.
Anyway. Welcome and wear your hats in good health

rally i never look how fit my hats with my hats. Posibbly someone could think that could be strange. But my face is more square. And for a time i must stop to buy hats, for a travel to Europe.
