Published On: March 23, 2024 By: chen hui
Baseball caps have different functions, such as sun protection, warmth, decoration, protection, etc. So, there are many kinds of baseball caps, and how to choose the right baseball cap? We, Aung Crown, a reputable custom hat and garment manufacturer in China, founded in 1998, with more than 25 years of experience in hat and garment manufacturing, will share the introduction of baseball caps on how to choose the right baseball cap.
How to Choose the Right Baseball Cap?
1. Choose by Faces
In general, there are 3 types of faces. Here they are: square face, round face, and pointed face.
If people who have round faces wear a round-top hat, then their faces will look bigger and the hat on top will be small, which is super abrupt and strange. If the round-top hat is changed to a wide-brimmed baseball cap, then the baseball cap can cover the deficiencies of round faces and make the face look small.
However, pointy-faced people are fit to wear a round-top hat, because if people who have pointy faces wear a baseball cap, then the whole face looks into a wide top and a small bottom, which makes the face look smaller, which is quite abrupt. That’s why pointy-faced people are fit to wear a round-top hat.
Square-faced people can wear all kinds of hats.
2. Choose by body shapes
The second is to choose the right hat for your body shape. This is the second factor to consider when choosing a baseball cap.
Tall people should choose large hats rather than small ones, otherwise, the whole look is unbalanced – heavy head and light bottom. The opposite is true for short people. Tall women should not wear tall baseball caps or the whole look will be too high. Petite girls should avoid flat and wide-brimmed baseball caps, which can make them look shorter.
3. By personal style
While wearing a baseball cap, it’s just the same as dressing in outfits, we need to emphasize its advantages and avoid the disadvantages, which means decently pleasing ourselves. The color and style of baseball caps should complement your outfits, scarves, gloves, shoes, and other accessories. Women who wear glasses should not choose complex or fancy hats, and please do not cover your forehead. If they wear a baseball cap, the hat should be placed a little high on their head and not block their glasses. What’s more, such a way can easily show her temperament and elegance.
4. Choose by sizes
The right size is very important for comfort when buying a hat. No matter who you are, if you want to wear a hat comfortably, choosing the right size is the key. Usually, for men’s hats, the size of the hat namely means the head circumference, therefore, it’s very convenient for men to choose the right size. However, some hats are shrunk after washing, so, in such a situation, please buy plus sizes.
Here are the general sizes for adults, kids, and babies.
Adult: 55cm – 58cm/21.65inches – 22.83inches
Kid: 50cm – 55cm/19.68 inches – 21.65inches
Baby: 42cm – 46cm/16.53 inches – 18.11 inches
