TRENDING: THE FEDORA 
Add fun and flair to any outfit by topping it off with this summer's biggest trend in hats: the fedora. In this week's blog post, we've hand picked three great ways to work the fedora into your summer wardrobe - for work, weekend and those fun summer nights out!

A must-have staple in every girl's closet, the fedora is a great summer accessory to add a bit of edgy sophistication to any outfit, while protecting yourself from the summer sun (and not to mention great for hiding those not-so-fabulous hair days too!).

This season, fedoras can be found in all different shapes, sizes and colours and have been spotted on such celebrities as Rachel Bilson, Miranda Kerr, Qwen Stefani and Cara Delevingne (to name a few). 
However, celebrities aren't the only ones on board with this trend! Here at MAD, we are loving the straw fedora with the classic coloured band. Its natural texture makes it the perfect summer hat, as well as a versatile light-weight accessory to complete any look: 

LOOK 1: Spruce up your everyday work outfit by adding a fedora to your professional ensemble. We love the look of combining the fedora with a modern structured blazer over a fun printed blouse and boot-cut yoga jean. Add a classic black heel and handbag to complete the perfect sophisticated work look.

LOOK 2: For a more casual and relaxed summer look (think weekends and evenings), the fedora is an effortless accessory that will make any casual outfit instantly chic. We paired it with a simple classic tank over a statement maxi skirt. Topped off with a wedge or flat sandal and casual handbag, this outfit is perfect for a summer lunch date or afternoon stroll in the city.

LOOK 3: For those fun summer evenings out, the fedora is a easy way to add attitude to a romantic summer dress. Paired with a strapless floor length dress with belted waist, the fedora gives a cool urban feel to any feminine print. We love this look for a late-night dinner or summer drinks on the patio!

Our best advise for pulling off the fedora is to own the look and keep it simple. A great tip for wearing this trend is to keep your hair natural and your outfit fun. Throw on your fedora over loose waves or use it to top off a low messy bun. However you chose to style it, the fedora is definitely a must have piece in your wardrobe this summer!


Happy Styling,
