How To Know if a Hat is Right For Me

The day I wore this outfit, I forgot my earrings. I didn’t realize it until later when I got home, removed my hat, then went to the mirror to smooth out my hair. I always wear earrings whenever I go out, even if it’s just to run to the grocery store.  At the very least, I wear a tiny stud. Maybe it’s silly, but I feel strange leaving my ear piercings bare.

When I saw these photographs, however, I noticed that I didn’t notice my missing earrings.  What I did notice was the hat.

That’s the phenomenon of a hat. It calls attention to itself. Up close or far away, it’s the star of an outfit. That’s why it’s important to make sure a hat works with your face, figure, and outfit.

The way I determine if a hat is right for me is to have someone take a photograph of me wearing it–usually a quick snapshot with my iPhone. I’ve asked both friends and sales associates to do this for me in stores, and then I go home and I think about it. For special occasions, I also take a quick shot of me wearing the hat with the outfit I’ve picked out. A quick one from my phone, propped up against books, works fine for me.

In the end, knowing which hat is right for a person is a matter of personal taste. Friends have told me they prefer me in one hat over another–and each friend’s opinion has been different.

If I like the way a hat looks on me, that’s all that really matters.
