BILL CUNNINGHAM OF THE NEW YORK TIMES DECLARES THE FEDORA THE HAT OF THE SUMMER

This is what the fashion arbiter-photo-voyeur had to say last Sunday:

“The straw fedora, with its rakish snap brim, is the summer status symbol. The hats have the traditional headband of patterned fabric or solid-color grosgrain ribbon. There are even a few vintage Panama hats being worn around the city.”

There was a wonderful photo of men and their hats but we were unable to re-produce it here so we went to villagehatshop.com for a fedora fix.
