Hat<br />
Get ahead with a<br />
Written by Ruth Essex<br />
Fashion<br />
Frosty mornings mean it is time to consider adding<br />
a hat to your list of stylish essentials, but how do<br />
you begin choosing one? I get clients to quickly glance<br />
at themselves in the mirror. Look up, then look away,<br />
then tell me what they notice is most dominant. Bright<br />
eyes? Soft muted features? Hair colour? Skin tone?<br />
Your dominant feature is a great guide to choosing the<br />
best hat to flatter yourself.<br />
Select a hat that echoes something about your features;<br />
be that your hair colour, skin or eyes. If you have very dark<br />
hair, a black felt hat will mirror this, and by adding dark<br />
glasses, it amplifies the effect. Furry hats tend to work<br />
well on those who have soft muted colouring, where the<br />
distinction between the hair, skin and eyes is soft rather<br />
than sharp. Smokey greys and soft camels are good<br />
choices.<br />
Look at the colour of your eyes too. Brown eyes are<br />
amplified by choosing a hat of the same depth of brown,<br />
be that a deep rich chocolate or a mid-range chestnut.<br />
Hazel eyes and green eyes are complimented by green<br />
hats. If your eyes are blue, choose a corresponding blue<br />
shade and notice how prominent it makes your eyes.<br />
Those with blonde or white hair look good with paler<br />

colours such as the pastels. Hair would be your dominant<br />
feature if it is long; as it is the first thing you are likely to<br />
notice about someone.<br />
An animal print hat is a pattern that works very well for<br />
those with multi-tonal hair, particularly in the light brown<br />
to caramel tones. Chose a warm tone to compliment your<br />
skin if you have golden highlights. If your hair is more ash<br />
blonde or grey, with silver highlights, go for a cool animal<br />
print instead.<br />
You can amp up your head turning ability with a red lipstick<br />
or tone it down by choosing a neutral colour hat. The<br />
choice is yours. A hat can add style to any winter outfit so<br />
spend a little time choosing the right one so you can be<br />
confident knowing it looks and feels great on you.<br />
