Hat wearing tips for short women
Hats are not meant for tall women only. Women with short height can wear it as gracefully as the tall women and will draw equal attention as them. The only thing is that you must choose and wear the right hat for that matter.
- First, choose a hat that is not wider than your shoulders. This will keep your fashion accessories as well as your petite frame well in proportion. You will not look overboard wearing the hat. Even if you wear a hat with a broad brim like the beach hats, make sure that it does not extend beyond your shoulders.
- Always wear your hat at a jaunty angle so that you look a little bit taller due to the asymmetry. You can also try out different other ways to wear your hat, but make sure that it complements your outfit and creates an illusion of more height.
- Coordinate the colors so that the hues match with your clothing. This will also make you look taller. You can use your hat as a topper to your monochrome outfit. Wear a hat in one shade darker or lighter than your clothing, especially if you are wearing a top or a jacket.
When you are done with the basics, choose the type of hat to match with your specific outfit.
- If you are wearing a skirt or a dress, you can choose a cute Fedora or a western hat with a pair of jeans or any other casual clothing.
- If you want to make a Bohemian style statement, you can wear a beret.
- You can also wear a chic little fascinator, which is great for short women as it is not massive but in proportion.
Dos and Don’ts
If you want to wear your hat correctly, these are the rules to follow. Regardless of your height, it will enhance your style statement.
- Do own a leather baseball cap
- Do not wear a baseball hat for a special occasion
- Do wear a beanie with a leather skirt, sneakers and a bold lipstick
- Do not wear a beanie for a special occasion
- Do wear a woven hat with a simple white blouse and a good pair of worn-in jeans
Consider head shape and figure
You must choose a hat to wear according to our figure and the shape of your head. Most of the time, the way of the head is similar to the shape of the face. You should choose a hat that will offset the shape and not mirror it for the best results and effects.
You should also choose one that will balance your figure proportions and curves. If you are tall and plus-size, choose a floppy hat with a wide brim. If you are short, a fedora will look stylish on you and add a little height.

Hats are perhaps the best fashion accessory that will enable you to add dimension to your dress as well as your style. Choose the right color to make the correct statement as well as the shape according to your physique.
Hats, in short, will not only add meaning to your overall outfit but will also add a personal and bold touch to your whole look.
