These children all like to wear an octagonal hat, and gradually this hat is called a newsboy hat.

Black newsboy cap is always a classic and versatile choice. The calm and majestic black is inherently versatile. There is no pressure to combine any item. No matter which style you choose, it is a choice that cannot go wrong. If you want to make your look more refreshing but don’t want to miss out on the basic color, then a white newsboy hat is undoubtedly the best choice. The pure white newsboy hat is used to create a fresh and ladylike look. The white color can neutralize the tough characteristics of the hat, which is very suitable for creating a feminine look. However, it should be noted that the combination of pure white and dark colors can easily create an abrupt feeling, and the requirements for skin color are relatively high, so it is more recommended that you choose soft beige color.

The colorful newsboy hat brings a more obvious sense of playfulness to the look. It can also be matched with light-colored styles, which is refreshing and beautiful. Whether it’s blue, pink or red, it’s hard to go wrong. If you are a girl with darker skin and are worried that colorful newsboy caps will be difficult to control, the editor recommends starting with slightly lighter macaron colors, such as haze blue, dogwood pink, etc. These colors have lower saturation, so what? Can hold any skin color.
