Original, trendy, and available in many different models, a hat is a gift that stands out from the ordinary. If you're tempted to give headwear to someone close to you, it's an excellent idea! However, it's necessary to consider certain criteria to avoid making mistakes when choosing. Indeed, it's not about choosing the headwear that you personally like, but the one that will suit the person you want to give it to.

Size

It's better to know the head size of the person you want to give a hat to. If not, opt for a one-size-fits-all model to be on the safe side. This is generally the case with berets, ceremony hats, beanies and caps, as well as certain hats.

Face shape

Each face shape has its perfect hat. While oval faces can wear many models without risk, this isn't always the case for everyone. A rather elongated face won't be enhanced by a small bowler hat but rather by a fedora or a wide-brimmed hat. For a square face, we'll prefer instead a hat with round shapes to balance facial features.

The person's style

Because wearing a hat is also a matter of style! For this, remember to keep in mind the person's style. Rather understated or quirky? Dark or colorful? Casual or sophisticated? In short, choose the model that will complete an outfit while remaining consistent with the person's style.

The context in which it will be worn

Do you want to give an exceptional hat that will be worn for a special occasion or, on the contrary, a model to wear daily? It's indeed common to give headwear for a special event, such as a wedding or other celebration. In this case, it's necessary to take into account the outfit that the person will wear on the day of the event. In this particular context, don't hesitate to go shopping together to choose THE right model!

Conversely, a hat worn daily should match with the greatest number of outfits. A black trilby, for example, can easily be worn with both formal attire or more casual wear, for a rock or casual style. In autumn, also consider a beanie! Generally one-size-fits-all and available in all types of shapes, materials, and colors, it's a seasonal essential that's simple to choose.

With these tips, you should have a clearer idea for choosing the perfect hat! And if you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask us for advice.
