How To Style A Statement Hat For Everyday Wear

Are you experimenting with new hats and have a statement piece you don’t know what to do with? You can still style statement hats for every day without going overboard. You’ll want to think about the different elements of the statement piece and find some options that go with them.

You’ll learn more about styling your statement hat for the everyday below, so keep reading! Let’s begin.

Start With the Basics

First, you’ll want to choose basic pieces to complete your outfit that match the hat. These can include solid-colored shirts and pants and other basic pieces. You don’t want to combine more statement pieces with the hat because your look will become “too much.”

Basic clothes are simple, allowing you to combine them easily. You can think of them as the “base” of your outfit. They also allow your statement piece, in this case, a hat, to get most of the attention and set the tone for your look. 

Choose basic clothing that’ll look good with your hat. You can pull colors from the hat to use in the rest of your outfit or choose colors that make the cap “pop” and stand out more; it’s up to you!

Consider all the hat elements, including the material, shape, and color. You can use them in the rest of your outfit to help bring it together.

Overall, you’ll want to start with basic pieces. Too many statement pieces can make it hard to create an outfit that focuses on your big hat. Basic clothing is also versatile and great for everyday wear.

Pair With Some Accessories

Statement hats can also look great with some accessories. Earrings, watches, and bracelets are all good ideas, especially if they match the hat somehow. Adding a band or ribbon to your statement hat gives your outfit another pop of color. 

Make sure you match the accessories to the tone of the hat and the rest of your outfit so that they won’t look out of place. They should also be light enough not to compete with your statement hat.

Don’t Wear Multiple Statement Pieces

If you’re going to wear a statement hat, you want to let it take center stage. Pairing it with a statement shirt or necklace will distract from the attention it draws. Plus, having too many statement pieces in a single outfit will make it look unbalanced.

Wearing one statement piece at a time lets it shine. If you wear too many, they can end up competing with each other, which isn’t ideal for an everyday outfit.

So, make sure you have plenty of basic clothes to work with.

Stick To Your Daily Style

A statement hat should represent your style. If it does, it also makes wearing it with your daily wardrobe easier. Choosing a hat that matches what you already have means you’ll be likelier to wear it more often.

You’ll also feel more confident in your favorite styles. So, if you’re into vintage clothes, choose a vintage hat. You could also choose a hat that looks good with a color you have a lot of in your wardrobe.

Of course, you can always step out of your comfort zone if you want to.

Choose Colors That Compliment Each Other

Next, you’ll want to ensure that your outfit’s colors complement your statement hat. Your clothes should be able to blend with the hat without clashing. If the hat is bold, it can be hard to find colors complimenting it, so you’ll want to stick with basic clothes.

If you aren’t sure what colors look good together, you can always check out a color wheel. Colors that are next to each other tend to look good together. 

Plan Your Makeup

If you wear makeup with your statement hat, you’ll want to plan it to match. The hat will attract attention to your face, so you don’t want the makeup to look out of place. 

Many people prefer to wear simple makeup with their statement hats, so the attention remains on the accessory. You can do that or plan for makeup that compliments the hat well. Using the same color scheme can keep your look balanced.

Makeup can elevate your look, especially when you plan it out to work with the rest of your outfit.

Consider the Angle of the Hat

You’ll also want to think about how you’ll wear the hat. Wearing it straight across like normal looks flattering on everyone, but you can tilt it at an angle to have a stronger effect.

Think about your face shape and how that impacts what the hat will look like on you. Try wearing the hat slightly differently each day to change it to match the rest of your outfit. 

What is a Statement Hat?

A statement hat is an accessory that stands out. It’s bolder than other hats and might have unique patterns or textures. Some statement hats are large or feature fun elements like feathers and other decorations. 

Statement hats should be the main component of an outfit. They already stand out since they sit on your head so that they can attract attention. 

However, you can still wear them daily if you style them right. You’ll want to pair them with basic clothes and follow the other tips above. Otherwise, they can clash with the rest of your outfit.

In short, statement hats are meant to be bold and stand out. That doesn’t mean you must save them for special occasions, so wear them whenever you want.
