You’ve finally decided to take that unsettling step and start wearing a Fedora hat. Congratulations! Wearing a Fedora hat is a bold fashion statement, but you need to pull it off from the start so people will take your style seriously. Selecting a Fedora hat that suits your personality is going to be a little daunting, but not to worry because here are some guidelines you can use to help you out.

Personality Test

It’s a choice of being who you really are - or projecting a personality you would like people to think of you as. Many people lead double lives this way, mainly because they are scared of being laughed at or ridiculed. However, a Fedora hat really won’t speak volumes of your personality unless it is partnered with the right kind of outfits.

In other words, when you start wearing your Fedora hat, you need to have the complete outfit, not just any old jeans and ratty t-shirt. So, put together your look based on what makes you feel comfortable. Then, buy the Fedora hat. Choose neutral colors first like light brown or a black Fedora because these are easier to match. This is the best way to showcase your personality. Eventually, you will have more courage and challenge your creativity by making some adjustments on how you wear your Fedora hat. There are some amazing styles and designs that you can buy to enhance your look. You could even have a closet full of Fedora hats for every imaginable occasion.

Old Or New

There are old and new Fedora hats that are being sold online. Would you be interested in buying a used hat? The one advantage would probably be better materials used on the old hats. Other than that, you don’t really save on the price since there are new Fedora hats that sell for a pretty low price. Also, it will not really make much of a dent in your total look whether you buy used or new, so it will really boil down to a matter of personal choice, and maybe value for money.

Short or Wide Brims

Fedora hats had shorter brims and were most preferred by people from the West Coast during the 1920s. The main reason for this was the climate. The classic wider brim Fedora hats still stayed in vogue in spite of this adjustment, and was more popular in colder weather states. If you were to base your choice on your personality, a shorter brim Fedora hat would indicate that you were more laid back and casual. On the other hand, a wider brimmed Fedora hat would mean you like the traditional, more formal look. It would also reflect on your choice of clothing, so in the end, it all falls into place.

Selecting a Fedora hat that suits your personality is really just finding the accessory that appeals to you - then you would have found your style. Now, all you need to do is flaunt it!
