Take a front selfie

Look straight into the camera with your whole head in the frame, hair as you usually wear it, no hat. Even lighting works best.

A pork pie hat has a low, flat-topped crown with a circular dent running round the top, the shape of an English pork pie, and a short brim, often turned up all the way round. It dates from the mid-1800s, became a jazz musicians' hat in the 1940s, and came back with ska and mod style in the 1960s.

Its low crown keeps the outline compact, so it reads neat rather than tall. Wear it level or tipped slightly forward, with the brim flat or turned up.
