1. Choose the Right Style
Panama hats come in several shapes, some of the favourites are:
- Fedora: Classic and versatile, works well with most outfits and face shapes
- Teardrop: Another classic, features a rounded point at the front and a wider back shaped like an upside-down teardrop. Offers a sharp, classic look that suits almost all face shapes
- Optimo: Has a centre crease along the crown, more traditional.
- Gambler: Known for its round, flat crown and medium wide brim, this style has a laid-back, Southern charm and is ideal for leisurely outdoor settings like horse races or garden parties.
- Wide-brim: Offers better sun protection and has a bolder look.
Pick a style that suits your face shape and outfit.
2. Wear it with the Right Angle
- Tilt slightly forward or to the side for a stylish, relaxed look.
