Fedora Black Hat Hats is Melissa Odabash's classic hat collection: a narrow-brim style in fine paper straw across five belted colourways, built for understated sun protection. Suited to a customer who wants a hat that works with every print in the wardrobe rather than competing with it.
The fedora is the one hat shape in this range that reads as classic rather than seasonal, a narrower, more structured brim that's suited resort dressing for decades longer than almost anything else on this page. Melissa Odabash's own two decades of resort dressing keep coming back to this shape precisely because it never dates the way a more directional style eventually does.
Fedora, a fine paper straw hat with a narrow, structured brim, anchors the range across five colourways - beige, black, cream and white, each finished with its own contrasting belt. The brim stays narrow and structured throughout, closer to a classic trilby line than the wider, softer shapes found elsewhere in the Hats family. Every colourway shares the same construction, so the choice comes down entirely to shade rather than shape.
Pair with a plain kaftan from Kaftans or a Beach Dress so the shape of the brim does the styling work rather than a competing print. A fedora is the one hat here that never really goes out of fashion. It's proof a classic doesn't need reinventing each season to stay relevant.
