Be a hand model like George on Seinfeld.😂

You need to be under 25 to have a shot at this.

All those perfume spritzer ladies at the cosmetic counters in department stores are often contractors. I think there was a company called something like Beaute that supplied them. You could do that.

I'll come over and take pictures of you OP

Out of curiosity, OP, why are you so specific about wanting to model hats and sunglasses?

It is an oddly specific desire, do there must be a reason.

Another question is are you located in DC which does not have a fashion industry and is not a modeling center? Or are you in a place like NYC or LA, that might have more of these types of opportunities?

Why hats and sunglasses? why not socks and earrings?

That type of demand probably only works if you are already a famous celebrity.

Theres a modeling agency in Stockholm called Mikas. I learned that watching Wahlgren’s World. Looks like they have a website:

I had a friend that did this in high school.

She had gorgeous hands. Thin wrists with hardly any hair on her arms and the hair she did had was supe fine and basically invisible. Long, thin tapered fingers. She was tall and naturally thin, like 5'9" and 110 lbs, so her hands and wrists were really thin. Flawless, creamy skin and perfectly manicured nails. She had dance training, so she held her hands gracefully like a ballerina. Her forearms were lithe, very thin but nice muscle tone, not scrawny and bony.

She did not have normal hands and she knew how to "pose" her hands, wrists and forearms so they looked graceful.

Parts modeling is just not something that anyone can simply decide to do one day. And while there is a big market for product requiring photographs of hands and arms, there is just not really a market for hat models.

Even the famous hat designers primarily use faceless head forms for modeling their hats, because they want the focus to be on the hats. In the rare times they shoot the hats on people, like Philip Treacy, they either use celebrities, or women who are very clearly fashion models with training on how to pose to emphasize the product, and very skinny, specific looks.

Unless you are connected to the high fashion industry, print modeling industry, or high fashion photography, modeling hats and sunglasses is not a viable income stream.

No one pays for that kind of modeling in this age of instafluencers and self appointed tiktok models.

Are you looking for extra cash?

If you post some of your skills, people might be able to give you far more realistic ideas than modeling hats for cash.

This isn't really a thing. There are "parts" models if you have an exceptionally beautiful part (hands, feet, legs, etc) but someone who models hats and sunglasses is just...a model.

You won't make extra money doing this lol. Maybe years ago before influencers existed

You should sign up with a hat and sunglasses modeling agent. Just Google that and you’ll be all set.

I’m exploring the idea to make extra money modeling hats and sunglasses, but don’t know where to begin. I’d appreciate your guidance.
