Do hats often overwhelm your small head? Is it hard to find one that actually fits and stays in place? If so, you might need to start looking specifically for petite hats, also known as small size hats. Many brands carry hats for small heads in their juniors section — they’re made a little smaller than those in the women’s section. You should also look for hats made specifically for women, since men’s or unisex hats are typically made to accommodate larger proportions. Browse these women’s hats for small heads below to find the perfect accessory for any outfit.
