Do caps suit everyone? 

We tend to overlook some details regarding the accessories we wear. We always rely on the fact that it is trendy and disregard the rest. Fashion faux pas: just because an essential accessory is in vogue does not mean it will look good on you.

We can all wear a cap, but it’s best if it’s suited to your face shape. That’s why you need to be very careful when wearing one, regardless of its size and shape. There are certain types of hats that are simply not made for us.

Choosing a cap may seem like an easy task, but it is not at all the case, as you need to consider a few criteria to ensure it enhances your look.

The size of your women’s cap

In terms of size, generally, women’s caps range from S to M: small to medium. In numbers, it’s from 54 cm to 57 cm.

When selecting one, please try it on and ensure that the hat does not squeeze your head. Always choose a cap with an adjustable strap, so you can tighten or loosen it as needed.

Like every fashion accessory, you must first know for what occasion you will wear it, then the size, which is also very important. How to wear it, and finally, the color or design.

The color and model of your women’s cap

Never forget that your style reflects your taste and personality. The color, design, and especially how you wear it are all pieces of the puzzle that showcase your personality. Be bold!
