When one thinks of the fedora the first thing that pops into one’s mind is the iconic male accessory of the 1920s -1950s. The fedora has long been moth balled and only made a brief yet memorable emergence in the early to mid 1980s and worn by such 80s pop icons as Michael Jackson, Madonna and the Brat Pack Film Series. This spring and summer the fedora returns and not just for men but also for women.
The fedora has that classic look that sits well on the head of a well polished and tailored fashion forward person. Today the fedora continues that tradition along with a new twist of being fun and airy.
For women the fedora is the perfect spring and summer accessory. It should be worn with a pop of color and not the standard bland and neutral tones. We prefer the hat in straw or other light materials.
The fedor is equally cool with a straight edge or curled ends. The fedora can come with several style of pinches and creases and finding the right style for yourself is part of the fun. Wearing your hat tilted gives an extra fun look that is not possible to pull off with other summer hats such as the adorable floppy.
Summer of our favorite fedoras for 2011 come from designers such as Eugenia Kim and Juicy Couture though there are many designers who have come out with equally adorable fedoras
