We continue with the keys to choosing the perfect headpiece! When it comes to tips, it's time to talk about our precious body. What shape defines your figure? What do you want to enhance or correct? Let's go.
If you are short, your allies are less voluminous headpieces, as they will highlight your beauty instead of hiding it. Always look for balance; if you need to stylize your body, you should opt for headpieces that lengthen upwards... long feathers can be your allies! For example, pheasant feathers... The same effect can also be achieved with the base of the headpiece itself (like a teardrop headpiece with the tip pointing upwards) or by using narrow, transparent headpieces.
A tall, narrow headpiece will create an optical illusion that adds inches to your height.
You can also opt for medium-brimmed hats; always use small brims (visually, they will make you look taller) and avoid wearing hats or fascinators with overly large brims.

If you are tall, you can wear any type of headpiece, always maintaining a balance in its volume (neither too small nor too large) so that it doesn't look disproportionate. If you don't want to appear so tall, you should choose small headpieces (without overdoing it; always remember to maintain that balance so as not to upset the harmony of the figure). A good option to use are headpieces with veils.
For hats, you have the freedom to use wide, drooping brims; you should avoid wearing hats that are too small or narrow (visually, they will always make you look bigger).

A little trick!
If you want to look thinner, it's best to discard hats with overly wide crowns and look for tall, shapely crowns. You'll see how they flatter you!
Until the next tip!
