03
#3: Make It Part of Your Beach Gear

There’s no better place for a straw fedora than the beach. Take a page out of Kelly’s book and top off your one piece or bikini with a fedora for a relaxed, beachy look.

04
#4 Go For A Retro Vibe

Achieving this look is all in the hat – select a fedora with a rounded brim like Megan Good’s. It adds a sixties retro vibe to even the most modern ook.

Selita Ebanks goes for a straight menswear look with her fedora. Do the same by pairing your hat with a fierce blazer or button down shirt.

Straw hats may be casual, but pairing it with elegant pieces like a ruffled blouse or ruffled skirt give it another dimension.

#7: Be Glassy

The fun shouldn’t stop with the fedora! Add a dazzling pair of shades to create an interesting look.

08
#8: Mix Things Up

J-Hud pair a mix of prints and fabrics for a frenzied look, but the fedora pulls it all together!

09
#9: Get In The Trenches

Make your fedora rain ready by pairing it with a trench coat and scarf ala Liya Kebede.

10
#10: Try Patterns

Rachel Roy and Veronica Webb look lovely in their fedoras. Take Veronica’s lead by selecting a non-traditional fedora with a floral patterned band.

11
#11: Go Army

Rihanna’s camouflage jacket adds a fun and festive element when paired to a fedora.

12
#12: Keep It Casual

A simple tank and jeans are as perfect a pairing as any for your summer fedora.

13
#13: Rock & Roll

Wear your fedora with an edgy leather jacket, black shades and accessories for an edgier, rock and roll effect.

14
#14: Try Color

Switch things up by opting for a bright yellow – or equally colorful – fedora like Beyonces.

15
#15: Enter Evening

Pairing your fedora with an evening appropriate dress like Veronica Webb’s takes your fedora from night to day in an instant.

16
#16: Layer It

Layer your fedora over a scarf or knit hat for an eclectic vibe.

17
#17: Get Festive

Whats the best way to get your style on at a concert? Pairing your loose, chic pieces with a structured fedora ala Beyonce.

18
#18: Make It Monochrome

Go J-Hud’s route and wear a fedora in the same color family as your ensemble for a major monochromatic vibe.

19
#19 : Tie It Up

There’s nothing more classic than pairing a fedora with a tie for a strong, menswear feel.

20
#20: Button Down

We love a clean, crisp white button down with a fedora. Make it feminine by accenting with a bold belt like Janet’s.
