Many fashion experts say that absolutely every self-respecting girl should have a black hat in her arsenal.
The hat and its history
This is not just a headdress, but an important element of the image that can radically change it. But do not think that the hat is a universal element and will fit everything. To look fashionable and stylish in it, it is important to know what fits and what does not. It can't be that a man doesn't suit hats. Quite simply, it is worth choosing the right shape.
In 17th century Europe, both men and women wore military clothing. It was from this time that the trend to wear hats was born. Over time, the headdress has evolved and acquired a solid shape and a dark color.
Of all the possible colors of hats, black is the most popular. She has long been the favorite of many fashionistas. Black color gives elegance to the image and suits all girls, regardless of hair color and skin tone.
Types of hats
- Slouch. It is small in size and looks compact. Fields are round, small, slightly lowered down. Hats of this type have been in fashion for a long time and still do not go out. They are mostly worn by older ladies.
- Bowler/Derby. Although such a hat was previously worn exclusively by men, today it can besee on girls. It has an oval shape and suits almost everyone, but only with the right combination.
- Cloche. This species has a completely small size, almost not resembling a hat. The shape is somewhat reminiscent of a bell. It's rare to see a hat like this these days, but a few decades ago, it was one of the most popular hats of all.
- Homburg. This species has a high crown and a unique feature - a dent on it, located in the middle at the top. The homburg hat has a businesslike and formal look, and is worn mostly by men.
- Broad-brimmed. These hats suit tall girls more than short girls. But if you really want such a hat, then there is one piece of advice that allows short girls to wear wide-brimmed hats: the brim of the headdress should not be wider than your shoulders.
How to choose a hat
As it turned out, there are many completely different hats. If you choose the right option, suitable not only for you, but also for the image itself, you can change the overall look for the better. There are a few rules to follow.
A hat will help decorate and dilute any look. A black women's hat will look much better if you add some more dark color element. For example, gloves, a bag, a scarf or shoes. But we do not exclude the fact that the clothes themselves can be black. The main thing is that there should be something else in the image of a dark color.
A lot also depends on growth. If it is small, thenit is better not to make your choice in favor of wide brim, but to stop at small hats that will not allow you to lose fragility and femininity, making the image ridiculous. But besides this, do not neglect the physique. If you have a large physique, then absolutely miniature options will not suit you, choose something larger. But the main rule: the brim of the hat should not be wider than the shoulders.
The shape of the face is also an important selection criterion. Chubby girls should pay attention to hats with wider brim, for a triangular face, on the contrary, hats with narrow brim and a small size are suitable, for an elongated face, men's hat styles with lowered brim are recommended. If you have a square face, beware of symmetry.
