First, your Fedora hat should fit correctly. The hat should not be too big on your head, and it should not droop down over your forehead. The fedora should rest comfortably slightly above the center of your forehead, and above your ears. Tilt the fedora to the side slightly if the look suits you, otherwise wear it straight and centered-this is always the best bet for wearing a fedora.

Match the fedora to your outfit. Make sure it is not fancier than your clothes. If you are wearing a sharp, tailored suit, a wool fedora with a nice hat band and moderately stylish accent is a fine choice. Save the ultra sharp fur felt fedoras for your tuxedo or upscale suit. The color of the fedora should match the suit or be lighter than it. In some cases, a black fedora will be a fine accent for a lighter suit. For instance, a black fedora can make a red or green suit pop, you'll have to depend on your own sense of color and style when matching the fedora to your outfit.
