Love wearing fedora hats, but want to update your cold weather outfits? In this post I a sharing some modern ways you can style them with your everyday outfits.
A felt fedora hat is an iconic accessory that can elevate any outfit with ease. Yet, due to limitless options, choosing a way to style this timeless finishing touch can leave your head spinning.
Here, we’ll dissect the art of wearing these accessories and offer modern fedora hat outfit ideas to seamlessly upgrade your style.
How to Wear Fedora Hats and Look Modern
If you’ve ever wondered how to incorporate fedoras into your daily outfits, you’ve come to the right place.
The secret to wearing this chic headwear is to ask yourself why you’re drawn to them. Below are a few reasons fedora hats might be the right choice for your wardrobe.
By sticking with styles that complement your features, you can enhance your natural beauty with a single accessory.
- You enjoy easy statement pieces. Fedoras can conveniently become signature statement pieces. If you’d prefer to take the guesswork out of finding centerpieces for your day-to-day looks, these hats could help give you an appealing aesthetic without fussing over countless accessories.
- Versatile and timeless looks are attractive to you. With so many ways to wear them and just as many style variations (i.e. color, shape, size), you’ll never run out of fresh looks with fedoras. What’s more, their versatility has helped them stand the test of time–ensuring these hats can remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
- You prefer modern and trend-resistant accessories. Trends come and go, but fedoras stay out of that rapidly-moving current. Over time, they’ve proven to be impervious to fickle trends that label random items in your closet as “so yesterday.” Instead, they are an easy choice for looking chic and modern with little effort.
It’s worth noting that these beauties can complement any face shape–so long as you pick the right style for you.
Avoid high crowns if your face shape is narrow, as these can elongate the face even further. For wider faces, stay away from extra-wide brims that can make your face appear larger than normal.
Furthermore, those with angular features may want to stay clear of fedoras with pronounced angles to avoid exaggerating those features on the face.
