Which shape should you choose?
The fedora shape has a medium brim and a neat look. It works well in the city, with a simple dress or linen pants. If you mainly want shade for the beach or the market, go for a wider brim. The raw straw on PANAME and CHAPO CHAPI gives a more natural, relaxed look. White and cream beige feel fresh in high summer. Black and khaki look dressier.
What bag should you wear it with?
Straw goes well with a camel leather bag, a light tote bag or a small black bag. If your hat has a bold ribbon, choose a plain bag instead. For the beach, a beach bag holds your towel, sunscreen and a book. To finish the outfit, see our scarves and our women's bags.
How do you care for it?
When traveling, lay the hat flat on top of your things in your suitcase, or keep it on your head. Don't fold it. Avoid rain and humidity: wet straw can lose its shape.
