May is the perfect time to lighten up: accessories, shoes, and clothes all take on a breezy lightness that’s in tune with the sunshine and warmer weather. For a saucy finishing touch, borrow from menswear with a jaunty fedora in a neutral shade. In fabric or straw, plain or embellished, the shape adds a playful bit of retro to your look.
Women’s fedoras are dashing and dainty in one, offering a short brim and a high crown for optimum angles. This one simple element adds polish to any outfit, but can also be dressed-down for more casual looks. Go head-to-toe menswear by wearing with a vest, striped shirt and jeans, or mix with a delicate summer dress for a dose of fun Cuban-inspired cool on a hot hot day.
The Wendolyn Fedora by Goorin Bros features silvery feather filigree embroidery that sprouts from a retro polka-dot band in pale blue. Be sure to bend the crown up in the back to see the silky blue fabric too!
Eugenia Kim’s woven straw fedora for Target features a stem of flowers appliquéd to the front, for a touch of texture.
Meanwhile, the Beach Detective fedora from Anthropologie offers a crisp natural straw weave and a simple grosgrain ribbon. But be sure to notice the trompe l’oeil scarab printed on the band to bring you good luck!
When donning your topper, always remember The Chairman, Frank Sinatra: “Cock your hat; angles are attitudes.â€
