FAQs
Why oval is universal?
Oval face proportions are 'middle of the road' — not too long, not too round, not too angular. Any hat that flatters one feature won't clash with another. Lucky shape.
Pick by hair?
Yes. Long hair handles wide-brim sun hats. Short hair pairs with newsboy + beanie. Curly hair benefits from height (fedora). Bald scalp can rock any hat.
