This hat is an oversized newsboy style. It fits more hair & sits over the ears. The optional slouchy version, included, is meant to be worn with the slouch pushed back, patted down & sides pulled over ears. If not worn that way, it has a very “stovetop pipe” look; it also holds a ton of hair so great bonus if you need that!
