Trend To Try: Fedora Hats

I'm always looking for new accessories that I can try out - last year I got a fur trapper hat, the year before I tried out a snood - and when looking online at the accessories sections of different shops recently I noticed that fedoras seem to be very popular. They were also brought to my attention when I was reading an article on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and it featured a picture of her wearing one. I then googled this, and loads of pictures came up. Although fedora's are usually attributed to summer style, they are just as perfect for autumn, too. Try a beige or dark coloured felt fedora teamed with a biker jacket and jeans, and it will work perfectly. Unfortunately, straw fedoras will only work in summer.

I have picked out fedoras currently available in the UK (ranging from very cheap to very expensive!):

1. Miss Selfridge

2. ASOS

3. River Island

4. Miss Selfridge

5. Emilio Pucci

6. Gucci

7. Burberry

For outfit inspiration, I've picked out photos to show the different ways that a fedora can be worn.



  

  

Final judgement on the fedora? Definitely a trend worth trying. If you are cautious about wearing one as we head into autumn, pick a darker colour and it will be more suited to the outfits you are likely to wear. Additionally, don't be put off thinking that only designer brands offer the best fedoras - most high street stores will try to create hats of a similar look to those that are designer, so watch out for those.
