Black
Black color is not suitable for all women over 45 years old. It is best if it is a fur hat made from silver fox, arctic fox or dyed mink.
Pastel
For an elegant age - for those over 50, it is recommended to have plain hats in pastel colors or decorated in melange tones in your wardrobe. Brighter colors can unfavorably highlight all the nuances of the face - wrinkles, age-related skin color and circles under the eyes.
White
Headwear in white colors looks elegant, will help refresh your face, and emphasize the elegant style of a woman’s clothing. This is a universal color that is suitable for street fashion and creating fashionable looks. A white knitted hat is used in a sports ensemble of women's clothing, for relaxation and entertainment.
Dark green
For dark-haired, green-eyed beauties, hats in dark green colors can harmoniously complement the look. In other cases, dark colors may be inappropriate - it will emphasize faded skin and unhealthy color of the integument.
Grey
If you use bleached gray, when choosing a hat for ladies over 50, you need to be extremely careful. Gray doesn't suit everyone. It is better to choose a beige or pastel color palette for a fashionable cap or hat.

Features of choice depending on age
The choice largely depends on facial features and wardrobe style. Every woman looks her age, you just need to experiment.
Over 40 years old
Elegant age presupposes moderation in everything, and when choosing a headdress, the emphasis should be placed on fashionable colors. For ladies aged 50, it is more profitable to use a classic style, while choosing knitted hats, depending on the shape of the face.
It is better to avoid extravagant, overtly youthful models. A felt headdress is offered to replace the hat.
50 years
For ladies aged 50+, you should avoid extremes, and remember that cloche hats that resemble a bell, as well as fashionable berets and caps, look ideal. Everything will depend on your clothing style.

Choose according to face shape
When choosing, it is important to know the shape of the face and study the features of the features. A successful headdress will add more charm to the image and emphasize the excellent taste of the owner.
Oval
For oval faces, any suitable knitted hats are recommended. This face shape is considered universal; it has no restrictions.
Round
For a round face, we recommend: a French beret, a mink hat or a fur hat with high pile.
Square
For a face with a square shape, you should choose a voluminous beret.
Ushanka or a classic hat will do. It is not recommended to overload the image with massive decor.
Beret
Berets are back in fashion, and not just in Paris. Thanks to fashion bloggers, berets made from soft wool or cotton are gaining new popularity in cities around the world. Wearing a beret doesn't distract from your cute outfit, and its fitted, rimless style frames your face perfectly. Don't forget to tilt it up a bit, for a chic look you can wear everything from sweater dresses and pleated skirts to trousers or simple denim outfits.
Cowboy hat
The trick is to wear a fashionable Western cowboy hat—and dress against expectations. Sure, you could wear it with a flannel shirt and lounge jeans for a dressy outfit, but it's much more stylish and modern to pair this type of hat with more elegant looks like a fur vest and cashmere sweater combo.
Expert advice
You should not use shawls that have sunk into oblivion forever. Instead, stylish hats can be complemented with a wide scarf or stole, which look very presentable in any look and serve as a full-fledged element. The color of the hat should, if not contrast with the image, then set it off and play with it. Monochrome will merge the fashionable image into one spot, in which there are no accents.
When selecting, you need to start from the status, looking at the created bow through this prism. You cannot create a chic image if you use trinkets from the mass market and chase quickly disappearing trends. Women over 40 should avoid green shades - they will emphasize earthy colors, dark circles under the eyes, and wrinkles. Be yourself! Each lady on the verge of her 50th birthday has her own style features that are unique to her. When creating uniqueness, it is impossible to miss.
What to wear
You should wear the same hats with voluminous outerwear - they will support each other. Play with the contrast of colors, not forgetting the scarf. There are no strict regulations for a knitted hat - they look equally great with different styles of down jackets and jackets, classic coats and raincoats. Don’t try to select by color; laconicism is what distinguishes a person of considerable age, akin to a business card.
A scarf, on the contrary, can be of the same “blood” as a hat. Chic knitted items are suitable for winter, and light flowing stoles and gloves for the off-season. For summer, you can choose scarves that are knitted with a classic knot, covering the neck. For fur hats, it is better to choose something simple rather than a fur coat. On the contrary, you should do the same with fur coats - turban-style hats, bowlers or berets will look great paired with them, especially if an expensive brooch serves as decoration. Combined models look original, combining fur and knitted elements and inserts. They are worn with fur and with padded jackets and sheepskin coats.
