What type of hat will help keep the sun off my face?

The wider the brim, the better a hat will keep the sun off your face. Sun hats, bucket hats, and legionnaire hats work best. Baseball caps may help too, but they won't protect your entire face. In addition to style, look for hats that offer an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 30 and above. If you're spending time in warm weather, you'll also want a hat that will keep your head cool, so consider those made from materials like straw, mesh, or cotton.

How do I know what size hat to buy?

To know your hat size, you'll need to measure the circumference of your head. Use a bendable tape measure, and take the measurement about an inch above your eyebrows. Most people find that their head size ranges between 20.5 and 25 inches. Typically, 20.5 to 21.5 is considered a small, 21.5 to 22.25 is considered a medium, 22.25 to 23 is considered a large, 23 to 24.25 is considered extra large, and anything over 24.25 is considered extra extra large.

Which hat styles go best with my face shape?

If you have a square-shaped face, consider a hat with a rounded shape or brim, like a cloche, cowboy hat, or sunhat. Heart-shaped faces look best with fedoras and beanies. Long faces can benefit from wider brims, and round faces look best with angular-style hats. If your face is oval-shaped, you will look good in almost any style of hat.
