Yes you can wear hats!

Only a few weeks ago I wrote about shopping for a new trilby hat, and I was a little surprised that people felt they couldn’t wear hats. You can!

There are so many styles, materials, colours to choose from, I firmly believe there is a hat for everyone! You just need to spend some time trying on hats to find one for you.

Here are a few of my top tips for finding a hat:

Every shop you go in that sells hats – try them on.
Take a look at yourself in a full length mirror not one of those small oval mirrors they tend to have by the display – even if that means walking around the shop or going to the changing room to try them on – you need to see yourself properly.
When you try hats on in a shop – you will attract attention, accept it, listen to the comments and move on from there.
What’s your initial reaction? – if you don’t like it, you never will – so don’t buy it.
I tend to avoid buying hats when shopping on my own, you need opinions.
When I wear hats, I tend to opt for contact lenses and not wear my glasses.
I do have hats for “bad hair days” they consist of baseball caps or my trilbies as I can put my hair up in a ponytail. However, the best way to look good wearing a hat, is to take time on your hair, particularly for beanies – having silky smooth straight hair and wearing contact lenses, is a gorgeous feminine look.
And finally, I think hats are fun, so don’t take it seriously!
