We often get the question from our clients on how to wear their hair with a hat. Having long hair, I generally wear mine down and natural. There really is no right or wrong way, just whatever is the most comfortable in my opinion.

If you have bangs (or fringe as the British call it), I would suggest pinning them back so that they do not stick out under the brim. Some people will wear their hair back in a pony tail or chignon If you have very short hair, then you need not worry at all.

Hair color wise, I’ve found that redheads, such as myself, can wear almost any color of hat. Pink hats look good on most everyone. I would not advise a redhead to wear a red hat obviously. I always like contrast.

If you are a blond, you can wear a white or cream hat, just put lots of color on the hat to balance things out. A brunette can wear a dark hat, just with a bit of color added. My black and white hats look great on brunettes since the black and white has contrast.
