Hat designers from virtually together with far post us their best creations for our Derby issue. We asked these experts the lid questions yous demand to know to seat your best brim frontwards this Derby season.


The designers:
Louisville staple Dee’s offers unadorned hats together with materials to arts and crafts your ain creation equally good equally ready-made hats together with fascinators. Or, yous tin hand the sack convey inward your outfit together with Dee’s volition custom-design a lid or fascinator for you. Last Derby season, Dee’s sold to a greater extent than than 1,200 hats.

Jan Wutkowski founded aMuse Artisanal Studio inward 2005 inward Wilmington, North Carolina, exactly she also sets upwards store inward Louisville each yr at Derby time. She teaches the millinery arts throughout the United States, England, together with Australia.

What is your best advice concerning wearing or buying a hat?
Dees: Comfort! Pick something that looks swell on yous exactly to a greater extent than importantly feels goodness on your caput together with yous tin hand the sack article of apparel for the entire day.

Jan: My biggest advice is ‘wear the hat, don’t allow the lid article of apparel you.’ In other words, if it makes yous experience swell together with yous tin hand the sack describe off the attitude, exercise it! Oh, together with brand sure it fits together with stays on your head, which is an wages of working amongst a qualified milliner.

Do yous pick out whatsoever pilus suggestions for sure hats?
Jan: With few exceptions, pilus should last pulled dorsum from the face. Try a depression messy bun or a chic ponytail or braid. Hair should at to the lowest degree last tucked behind the ears. With hair, jewelry, together with your hat, it tin hand the sack expire likewise much approximately the face. Keep the expect build clean to a higher house the shoulders together with then that your human face upwards together with your lid are the focal points.

What trends are hot this year?
Dees: Bright colors are ever a swell means to expire for Derby. Try pairing brilliant colors that yous wouldn’t usually mean value to seat together. Think turquoise amongst apple!

Hat past times Dee's, $259.


Does human face upwards sort matter?
Jan: I mean value it does to a sure point. For instance, soul amongst a heart-shaped human face upwards (with a pointed chin) would in all probability non desire a lid amongst a crown that is really narrow at the top. Nor would a adult woman amongst a circular human face upwards expect her best inward a lid amongst a circular crown together with a downturned brim, equally it draws to a greater extent than attending to the roundness of everything to a higher house the shoulders. If yous pick out a prominent nose, yous in all probability don’t desire to pick out the embellishment of your lid center-front exactly preferably off to the side. Someone amongst a foursquare human face upwards would sure as shooting desire to expire along away from a straight-across brim. Cocking the lid to 1 side, together with then that at that topographic point is a prissy diagonal angle to the brim, would remedy the square, guide lines of the human face upwards together with hat.
