Your hat should be the final touch to your outfit, something that ties in with the overall look you are going for and also your color scheme.
Vintage hats are great for drawing inspiration from, whether it is reinventing the style of the hat but having it made in a modern color, using different fabrics or simply making a replicate of a design. Vintage hats will always be a winning choice.
Remember don't always play it safe when choosing your hat design as the judges are always looking for something new and innovative. If you are using a simple color scheme for example black and cream, try and get a hat that has elements of interest on it, from using different textures, add a bit of sparkle, a asymmetric design or different levels of height.
Also a very important mistake that many of us have made in the past is that you need to wear the hat, don't let the hat wear you !!
If you are a shorter petite women don't go for the extra large space satellite hat or you might just look like the hat has taken over and landed a space station on your head. Go for small intricate designs that will highlight your outfit and bring out your facial features.
If you are one of the lucky ones who are lovely and tall you have a bit more free range with your hat choice, however don't make the mistake and go too small. The hat will look out of proportion to the rest of you and the judges will not even look twice at your hat which is lost in the birds nest of hair on your head.
Handy hint for the week: A suitable hat, for your suitable height.
Until next time xoxo
