Questions you should know before wearing a hat

Before you dive into the search for the ideal model created by the artisans of our country, these are the main questions that every expert has in mind to achieve a flawless result and not fail in the attempt, did you know them?

• Where and at what time of day is the wedding?
• Does the guest outfit have any standout details like ruffles, rhinestones, or daring necklines and slits?
• What kind of hairstyle do you want to wear?
• Does the silhouette of the headpiece flatter my face shape?
• Is the material suitable for the time and place of the wedding?
• Does it match well with other accessories such as shoes, handbag, and jewelry?
• Does it represent you? Do you feel like yourself when you wear it?

If the celebration is in the morning and it fits with the setting and the outfit you already have in your wardrobe, along with the accessories, it's time to get started! Leaving aside British fascinators like those popularized by Kate Middleton around the world, and even those we see at Ascot every year, we suggest that for these spring and summer months you opt for more relaxed options, with natural materials, flowing shapes, and special details that will make you stand out. But never forget that the most important thing is to feel comfortable and confident in yourself—and, of course, comfortable!

Where can you find the perfect hat?

Which brands should you keep on your radar to find the hat that will elevate your wardrobe even further? From Mimoki , founded by Ana María Chico de Guzmán in 2008, with a studio in the Salamanca district, to the renowned hat shop Masario , under the direction of its Murcian entrepreneur, María Rosario. Among our stops are the Marcela & Co shop, the emerging brand Rö by Rocío Sanchís , the Romualda brand with its iconic hand-painted designs, and the artisanal hat shop, Colibrí Hats .

Also noteworthy are the designer brands Nana Golmar, the Valencian label Zahati with its colorful braided designs, and Balel, specializing in custom designs. Their collections, both permanent and limited edition, offer a wide range of styles that have won over well-known figures both nationally and internationally.

Undoubtedly, more and more women are opting for custom-made designs that perfectly complement their outfits and dress. This is especially true for bridesmaids, mothers and sisters of the bride, and godmothers, among others, because they have the opportunity to choose the color, style, and a very important detail: the type of fastening , whether it's a headband or a barrette.

What type of hat is most popular among Spanish women? Those made from natural fabrics like raffia, with wide, flexible brims that can be adjusted as desired (tilted, with the brim turned up, etc.) and reused at several weddings, creating different versions.

So next time you're putting together a guest outfit, don't hesitate, start with your head! A well-chosen hat not only frames your face and helps you look taller, it can also be the viral piece that cements your status as the fashionista of the year.
