A hat should always be more than just a hat. It should be an adornment which not only sits upon the top of your head, hut also adds to the attractiveness of your hairdressing and your face. Not only should it enhance the most beautiful features of your face, but it should also conceal those which are not so attractive. In other words, it should make your face more interesting and more correctly proportioned.
