How to Choose the Right Fedora for Your Face Shape

1. Understanding Face Shapes and Their Ideal Fedora Matches

Before we look at specific fedora styles, it's important to understand different face shapes and how they pair with various hat designs. At Suits & More, we think the right fedora can make your natural features shine and improve your overall look. Knowing your face shape is the first step to finding a fedora that looks great and enhances your unique facial characteristics.

Common face shapes include oval, round, square, heart, and diamond. Each shape has unique features that can be complemented or balanced by specific fedora styles. Here's a simple breakdown:

• Oval faces can wear most fedora styles, from classic to bolder designs
• Round faces look good with fedoras that add height and create angles, making the face look longer
• Square faces suit softer, curved fedora styles that balance out strong jawlines
• Heart-shaped faces work well with medium-brim fedoras, which help balance wider foreheads
• Diamond faces can pull off bold fedora styles that highlight their unique features and high cheekbones

2. The Versatile Oval Face: Your Fedora Playground

If you have an oval face shape, you're lucky! This versatile shape lets you try out many different fedora styles. Our Scala Hats Collection has lots of options that will suit your face shape well. Oval faces are about one and a half times longer than they are wide, with balanced features. This shape works great with many fedora styles.

For oval faces, we suggest:

• Classic fedoras with medium-width brims, which keep your facial features balanced
• Pinch crown styles for a timeless look that adds class to your appearance
• Trying different brim sizes to find what you like best, from narrow for a modern look to wider for more drama
• Testing various crown heights to see which proportion looks best on your face

One great choice is our Spire Collection Scala White Poly Braid Fedora with Rhinestone Accent. It costs $49.99 and has a 2 1/4" brim, shiny rhinestones, and a grosgrain ribbon band. It's great for adding style to your look, no matter your face shape. The white color works with many outfits and occasions, and the poly braid material is durable and easy to care for.

3. Balancing Round Faces with the Right Fedora

If you have a round face, pick fedoras that add height and create angles to balance your softer features. Round faces are about as wide as they are long, with full cheeks and a rounded chin. Our Hats collection has great options for round face shapes, with styles that can make your face look longer and slimmer.

We recommend:

• Fedoras with higher crowns to make your face look longer and slimmer
• Wider brims to create contrast with your face shape, balancing out your full cheeks
• Angular pinch crowns to add sharper lines, which can offset your round features
• Asymmetrical brims or tilted styles that add visual interest and break up the circular shape of your face

Check out our Crestara Collection Stacy Adams Rust Provato Knit 2" Brim Pinch Fedora. It costs $64.95 and has a 2-inch brim, contrast underbrim, and a matching grosgrain band. It works well for different seasons and looks great on round face shapes. The rust color adds warmth to your skin, and the pinch crown creates a flattering vertical line that makes your face look longer.

4. Softening Square Faces with Curved Fedora Styles

Square faces look good with fedoras that soften angular features. Square face shapes have a strong jawline, wide cheekbones, and a broad forehead, all about the same width. Our Mensa Collection Montique Men's Grey Woven Patterned Fedora Hat is a great choice for this face shape, offering a mix of structure and softness.

Key features to look for:

• Rounded crowns to balance sharp jawlines and add softness to your look
• Slightly curved brims for a softer appearance, helping to balance angular features
• Medium-width brims to keep things in proportion and not overwhelm your strong facial structure
• Fedoras with softer materials or textures that contrast with your sharp facial features

This classic fedora costs $59.95 and has a grey and white patterned woven design. It's lightweight and stylish, perfect for square faces. You can wear it for casual or semi-formal occasions, and it comes in multiple sizes for a good fit. The woven pattern adds texture and interest, while the shape helps soften your angular features, creating a nice balance between your face and the hat.

5. Complementing Heart-Shaped Faces with Balanced Fedoras

Heart-shaped faces look good with fedoras that balance a wider forehead and a narrower chin. This face shape has high cheekbones, a wide forehead, and a pointed chin. Our Lorde Collection White Two-tone Pinch Hat Wide Brim Straw Fedora is a great choice for this face shape, offering a balanced and flattering look.

We recommend:

• Medium-brim fedoras to balance your wider forehead and narrower chin
• Styles with interesting textures or patterns to draw attention away from the forehead
• Slightly angled brims to complement your facial structure and add interest
• Fedoras with a lower crown height to avoid adding too much height to your forehead

This stylish two-tone straw fedora costs $59.95. It has a pinch crown, wide brim, and a Montique pin for extra detail. It's light and perfect for warm weather, and it looks great on heart-shaped faces. The white color brightens your skin, while the emerald bottom adds a pop of color that draws attention to your eyes and cheekbones.

6. Enhancing Diamond Faces with Statement Fedoras

Diamond-shaped faces can wear bold fedora styles that highlight their unique features. This face shape has high, dramatic cheekbones, with a narrow forehead and jawline. Our Dazzluxe Collection White with Emerald Bottom Braided Wide Brim Pinch Fedora Hat is perfect for making a statement and enhancing your distinctive facial structure.

Consider these features:

• Wide-brim fedoras to balance prominent cheekbones and add width to the forehead and jawline
• Bold colors or two-tone designs to draw attention and highlight your unique facial structure
• Unique decorations or textures for added interest, which can complement your striking features
• Fedoras with medium to high crowns to make your face look longer and balance out your cheekbones

This eye-catching fedora costs $64.90. It has a white crown with an emerald bottom, a pinch crown, and a wide 2 1/2" brim. It's perfect for making a bold statement and looks great on diamond-shaped faces. The contrasting colors create visual interest, while the wide brim helps to balance out your prominent cheekbones and add width to your forehead and jawline.

7. The Importance of Proper Fit and Sizing

No matter your face shape, making sure your fedora fits properly is really important for both comfort and style. A well-fitted fedora not only looks better but also stays in place and feels comfortable all day. At Suits & More, we offer different sizes to make sure every customer gets the perfect fit, knowing that head sizes and shapes can vary as much as face shapes do.

Tips for proper fedora fitting:

• Measure your head carefully using a flexible tape measure, placing it about 1/8 inch above your ears and across your mid-forehead
• Make sure the fedora sits comfortably about 1 inch above your ears without feeling too tight or leaving a mark on your forehead
• The brim should be parallel to the ground when worn, creating a balanced and stylish look
• Check that the fedora doesn't wobble or move when you move your head, showing it fits securely
• Think about the shape of your head as well as its size - some people might need a slightly larger or smaller size than the measurements suggest due to head shape

8. Considering Material and Season

The material of your fedora can really change how it looks and works for you, both in style and practicality. Different materials suit various seasons and occasions, affecting not only how the hat looks but also how comfortable and durable it is. Our diverse hat collection offers options for every season and occasion, so you can find the perfect fedora year-round.

Consider these options:

• Wool felt fedoras for cooler months, offering warmth and a classic look perfect for fall and winter
• Straw or lightweight materials for summer, providing breathability and sun protection during hot weather
• Unique materials like knit or polyester blends for year-round wear, offering versatility and easy maintenance
• Water-resistant materials for rainy seasons, ensuring your fedora stays in shape even in damp conditions
• Leather or suede fedoras for a luxurious look that can work between seasons with proper care

Tips for coordinating:

• Match your fedora color to your suit or accessories for a cohesive look, or choose a contrasting color to make a bold statement

• Try out contrasting textures for added interest, such as pairing a smooth felt fedora with a textured tweed suit
• Consider the overall color palette of your outfit and choose a fedora that complements or enhances it
• Use your fedora to add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral outfit, or to tie together different elements of your ensemble

11. Caring for Your Fedora

Taking good care of your fedora helps it keep its shape and style, so you can enjoy your stylish hat for years.

At Suits & More, we offer high-quality fedoras made to last with proper care, and we want to help our customers keep their hats in great condition.

Care tips:

• Store your fedora on a hat stand or in a hat box to keep its shape when you're not wearing it
• Use a soft brush to remove dust and dirt, brushing in a counterclockwise direction for best results
• Keep felt fedoras away from water to prevent damage to the material and shape
• Use steam to reshape straw fedoras if they get bent out of shape, being careful not to use too much water
• For leather or suede fedoras, use special cleaners and conditioners to keep the material soft and protected
• Avoid storing your fedora in direct sunlight or very hot or cold places, which can cause fading or warping
