Key Steps

1

Navigate to Magic Edit and Upload Your Portrait

Begin by logging into your Expression Editor AI account and selecting the "Magic Edit" feature. Upload a clear portrait. For a classic pillbox hat, a photo where the hair is styled back often provides a perfect canvas.

2

Select the "Clothing" Optimisation Mode

To achieve a high-fashion result, choose the "Clothing" optimisation mode. This tells the AI to focus on the details of the accessory, ensuring the pillbox hat has a realistic texture and fits elegantly.

3

Write a Prompt for an Elegant Look

In the prompt box, describe the hat. A simple "Add a pillbox hat" will work, but you can get creative with "Add a vintage pink pillbox hat with a small veil" for a more specific, sophisticated style.

4

Apply, Generate, and Perfect the Look

Click "Apply" to generate the image. Expression Editor AI will place the hat at a natural-looking angle. If you envision a different style or color, simply adjust your prompt and generate again to find the perfect look.
