Hair and hat styles by face type taught at Iowa State
The home economics department at Iowa State College advises framing the face to best advantage by matching hat styles to facial types. Angular faces with pointed noses suit soft, drooping brims, while receding chins require brim placement lower at the neck and longer at the back. Stout faces with double chins favor hats with vehicle-like lines and upturned brims. Flat features need irregular hat lines to break flatness.
