Hats are always a fashion trend I’m jazzed about for the Holiday season. It is no secret I LOVE hats all year long! I love my head gear and when it comes to fedoras, they have to be my favorite because they are so versatile as a style. At first, people think of the classic early to mid 20th century male movie & TV stars with Fedora's but really Fedoras start much earlier.
Women first!
Fedora hats were first seen as a feminine hat with masculine undertones in 1883, inspired by the French playwright Victorien Sardou's drama "Fédora." Sarah Bernhardt, a French actress, played Princess Fédora Romanoff, who wore a fashionable, center-creased, soft-brimmed hat. Sarah was known for wearing men's clothing and taking on roles that surprised audiences. She was RAD AF! The style of Bernhardt's hat was named "fedora" after the title of the play in the play's first review. This review popularized the term "Fedora Hat" in womenswear and, later, menswear. Fedora hats quickly became a popular fashion statement and symbol for women's rights activists, representing liberation and assertiveness. Feminists were driving fashion even back then. FAWK YAAASSSS! The Fedora trend quickly spread to all women and men who were on the cutting edge.
Versatile and Chic
Everyone seems to be feeling the same way, whether it's on the streets, in fashion blogs, or celebrities’ social media. Hats always add an extra element to any outfit, but the fedora takes it to the next level. They not only serve a practical purpose on bad hair days, but they also keep you warm AND transform your outfit. Throw on a fedora whenever you want to look chic without looking like you tried too hard.
Tips & Hacks
A few tips on how to wear it: If the brim of the hat is smaller, tilt the hat toward the back of your head leaving the front of the brim sitting above your your forehead & hair line. If it’s wide brim fedora sit the hat directly on top of your head and maybe shift it to the left or right. To wear a fedora and really rock it, I stick to basics and easy micx and match pieces. Wear Fedoras with leather jackets, ripped jeans, boots, long cardigans, tench coats, or a lingerie and flannel shirt.
Always a classic!
Fedoras, like most fashion items, never go out of style due to their ability to transform the wearer into anything they desire. Because of its versatility, character, and history, the fedora style is ideal for anyone. You can never go wrong with a fedora in terms of style, outdoors, indoors or in the bedroom!
2022 has been a banner year for this gal. Breaking through in 2022 was my theme and I certianly did that! I really found out who I was and did it on purpose! Ending the year on National TV just rocked, Lisa Ling and her production team did an amazing job presenting our story. Don't worry, if you missed it, we'll share a link to the episode when they give it to us after the season is over. Next month I'll be launching a new theme, I can't wait to share it!
Happpy Holidays - Happy New Year!
