When it comes to picking out a hat, the first step is to pick a silhouette that works well for your face shape, height, and the event you want to wear the hat. A hat for Ascot or the Kentucky Derby (or a black tie event) could be much larger than say a hat for Easter.

Hats are sculptural. Wearing the right shape can make or break you. It’s been my experience that younger people (say 50 and under) can wear the styles such as the Simply Elegant style on my site. People 50 and over usually pick the more traditional styles.

I have about 5 hat base styles that I work with. I have found these styles to work best.

As always, I am more than happy to help pick out a hat style and make suggestions. That’s a service that we provide to our clients. No one wants to look silly in their hat, now do they?
