Although men and women both used to wear hats almost every day, everyday hat wearing has dropped to around 11% in recent years. However, wearing a hat can be a game-changer when it comes to your personal style.

It’s easier to wear a hat than you might think. There are plenty of styles available to go with many of the outfits you already own.

Not only will it up your style, but they can also protect you from harsh environmental elements, too. Let’s look at how to wear a hat with your everyday look.

Choosing the Right Hats

Before we go over how to style a hat, you need to find the right hat for you. There are a few factors to consider. 

The first is face shape. Does your face shape work best with a smaller-sized hat, can you work with a wide brim?

Next, where do you want to wear a hat? The hat you would take to the beach is not the same sort of hat you would wear to church.

It’s best to start with a popular and versatile hat before expanding your wardrobe. Once you find the right style, you can start adding more hats to your rotation.

Most Popular Hats

Americans buy around $43 million baseball caps every year. It’s safe to say that this is a popular style of hat and it works well in a variety of situations.
