Bucket hat
Yes, worn low: the brim sloping across the forehead cuts the length of a long face.
Try it on →Hats for an oblong face
An oblong face is clearly longer than it is wide, with a long, straight cheek line and often a high forehead. Hats balance it with width rather than height: wider brims, lower crowns, and a hat worn down on the forehead so it shortens the face.
Tall crowns and hats perched on the back of the head do the opposite and add length. Not sure your face is oblong? Take a selfie in the try-on below: the face analysis tells you its shape.

FAQ
What hats suit a long face?
Hats that add width and sit low: floppy brims, boaters, cloches, bucket hats, newsboy and flat caps worn down on the forehead.
Should a long face avoid tall hats?
Mostly. Tall crowns like a cattleman cowboy hat or a high-profile trucker hat lengthen the face further; if you love them, pick a lower crown and a wider brim.
Can a selfie tell me which hat suits my face?
Yes. Take a selfie in the try-on on this page and tap "Which hat fits me best?". The AI face analysis tells you your face shape at no cost. It also picks the one hat from the gallery it would choose for you; seeing yourself in that hat is a try-on for one credit, once you have bought credits.
