How can you go out without a straw hat on a sunny day? Nowadays, there are various types and styles of straw hats on the market. It is not easy for us to choose a straw hat that is of good quality and suits us.
In fact, when choosing a hat, as long as you consider the three points of "size, structure, and material", you can roughly choose your own straw hat.
The hat circumference determines the size of the hat, and understanding the head circumference is the first step in choosing a hat.
How to measure head circumference:
1. Prepare a tape measure.
2. Take the tape measure from the root of the forehead to the highest position on the back of the head in a circle.
3. The resulting size is your head circumference.
After getting the head circumference, we need to add 0.5 to 1cm to choose the hat. For example, if your head circumference is measured to be 55cm, you should choose a hat with a hat circumference of 55.5 to 56cm.
But because everyone's skull is irregular, and the hat is a standard oval, some may need a larger hat, but the range is usually no more than 1.5cm.
In order to avoid trouble, when we buy hats, in addition to knowing our own head circumference, we also need to ask the merchants about the hat circumference parameters.
The basic structure of a hat is divided into three parts: hat circumference, hat depth, and hat width. The depth of the hat is the height of the hat barrel, which determines where the hat is stuck on the head, and affects the sense of coordination and beauty of the head.
For people with long faces, the depth of the hat has a great effect on adjusting the length of the face. Choosing a straw hat with a moderate depth or a shorter hat can play a role in neutralizing the length of the face, and it is advisable to cover 1/2 of the forehead when wearing it.
For people with round faces, the aspect ratio of the face is close to 1:1, and the lines are rounded. Choose a straw hat with a moderate or slightly higher depth to lengthen your face, and it is advisable to expose 2/3 of your forehead when wearing it.
The width of the hat is the width of the brim, which determines the sunshade and decorative effect of the hat.
For people with round faces, the width of the hat has a great effect on adjusting the size of the face. Choosing a straw hat with a wider brim has a good effect on the face shape, and the sense of leisure and vacation is also stronger. For people with long faces, there is not much restriction on the width of the hat.
After determining the appropriate size, let's learn about the material and pattern of the summer straw hat. Summer straw hats are generally made of relatively refreshing nylon, straw, hemp, yarn, cotton and other materials, but there are differences in ventilation, mesh hats and straw hats have the lowest material density and are very cool.
Cotton hats have a high sun protection factor, but they are very sweaty in summer. Therefore, like a single item of clothing, the superiority of a good hat is reflected in the choice of material. Straw hats are a better combination of comfort and breathability. .
The straw hat has a woven texture. The finer the texture and the more slender and smooth the weaving method, the softer the straw hat will be, and the holes and gaps in the middle will become smaller, so the sun protection effect and feel of the straw hat will be better.
Another point of choosing a hat is that it is best to buy a hat that can be folded, because it is easy to carry and easy to maintain the basic hat shape. In addition, the foldable type is also very practical for storage at home and travel. This summer, brighten your outfit with a straw hat that's perfect for style.
