When and How to Wear a Fedora

Let’s clear one thing up: a fedora should complement your outfit—not overpower it. Here's how to make it work in today's world:

1. Keep It Classy, Not Costume

Avoid pairing a fedora with graphic tees or overly casual streetwear. Instead, match it with smart-casual or formal looks. Think blazers, trench coats, tailored trousers, and leather shoes.

2. Match the Season

• Felt/Wool Fedoras: Best for fall and winter. They pair beautifully with overcoats, scarves, and boots.

• Straw Fedoras: Lightweight and breathable, ideal for summer outfits. Pair with linen shirts and chinos.

3. Find the Right Fit

A fedora should sit comfortably on your head, about an inch above your ears and eyebrows. Avoid anything too large or small—it should enhance your silhouette, not distort it.
