Add Instant Chic to Any Ensemble With This Season's Must-Have Hat

>> This Fall, the perky little fedoras of seasons past get a much-needed update.

>> This Fall, the perky little fedoras of seasons past get a much-needed update. Spotted at the Fall 2011 Gucci show — and on the streets of Spring 2012 fashion week (above) — this season's fedora is floppier, feminine, and just a tad '70s — perfect for adding a bit of mystique to any cold-weather ensemble. Look for wide-brimmed versions in rich hues with luxe trimmings — leather, feathers, and extra-wide ribbon look especially chic for Fall. See below to shop our picks — and make this look your own.
