How to: Wear a Fedora

I know, I know, the fedora seems like it should be reserved for the likes of Kate Bosworth, Lauren Conrad and Nicole Ritchie, but it really is a wearable look for pretty much anyone!

While I'm not typically a hat gal (I swear I have an abnormally large head brain), I love the fedora because  it's doesn't feel like I'm attacking people with it as I walk by (haha yes, picture it).

Don't get me wrong -- floppies rock and I will be showing you some great, affordable options soon enough -- however, a fedora is a great alternative for the ever day.

Plus, certainly anyone sitting behind you in a movie theatre or concert will appreciate!

If you're not sure it's for you, test it out with one under $25 so you're not breaking the bank if it doesn't get a lot of use. Here's a few I'm digging (and you can probably do even better during a sale!):

New York & Co., Ribbon Fedora, $16.95

Aldo, Phylicia, $20

Kohl's, Vintage Stone Straw Fedora, $16.80 (reg. $24)

OK, and now, some critical fedora-wearing advice:

Make sure it fits your head properly.

Go with one designed for a female or male, whichever gives the best fit (even kiddies!).
You want to pull it further down on your head; you don't want it to look too high above your head.
Also look for styles with a prominent crease.

Wear with a basic top, or try a floral pattern for spring.

And, most of all, have fun with it! It's a hat, after all.
