No definite statement can be made as to what should or
should not be worn. In selecting a hat, the arrangement of the
hair, the shape of the face and its coloring, the relation of the
hat to the head and of the head to the whole figure must be
considered.
Proportion and balance.
Of first consideration in the study of hats is the relation both
of the hat to the head and of the head^ including the hat, to the
entire figure. Since the figure may be seen from all sides, the
hat shouki look well, not only from the direct front view, but
from every possible point of view. In general, the crown and
the brim should be in good proportion to each other, and
the hat should be in proportion to the head and to the whole
figure.
To make broad shoulders appear less broad, the crown of
the hat should be fairly high, while the brim should be fairly
wide in order to balance the hips. This is liiit a single example of
the relation t>f the hat to the figure. A hat that is tofj large
gives a tnp-lieavy ap[xmrance and thus disturbs the proportions
of the human figure, A sufficient sense of balance is inherent
in the average person to guide her judgment in selecting a hat,
