FEDORA

• Fedoras look great on guys with a bigger build because of its taller crown and 2-inch brim.

• Choose a moderate or wide brimmed fedora based on your build and face shape (wider brim for longer, oval faces).

• Remember to choose to style based on seasonality – straw belongs in summer only.

• Instead of plopping it straight on your head, tilt the hat back a bit for an effortlessly cool look

HOW TO WEAR IT WELL:

PANAMA HAT

Jack Erwin $95

Banana Republic, $43

J.Crew, $65

Suit Supply $499

Bonobos $98

PANAMA HATHOW TO WEAR IT WELL:

• When checking for quality, make sure the straw is tightly weaved (the old rule: it had to be able to hold water without leaking a drop)

• The classic white Panama hat with a black band is traditionally formal, so it’s best paired with a summer-weight suit

• Capitalize on the laid-back nature of the Panama hat by pairing it with loafers and linen

• If you have a thinner face, make sure you wear a more narrow hat (conversely, a wider hat is better suited for a bigger face)

• Lose the tie and loosen the top botton, for the ultimate laid-back vibe, then slip on a pair of driving loafers sans socks to complete the look

PORK PIE HAT

Gant $78

Globe $66

Bailey Waits $70

Urban Outfitters $29

Trigger Rands $70

Asos $19

PORK PIE HATHOW TO WEAR IT WELL:

• Since the pork pie hat is so round and short, it looks better on round faces as it tends to aesthetically cut off oval faces too much

• Despite Mr.White’s straight on hat style… we suggest tilting the hat or wearing it a bit further back on your head to avoid looking costume-like

• Pair the pork pie hat with slim-cut pieces because of it’s compact build (a small hat with loose clothing

• A straw pork pie hat looks great with a slim short sleeve button up, while a felt hat pairs well with a fitted blazer and tailored chinos
