There are so many women’s fedora hat brands and styles out there, making it difficult to know where to shop online; you don’t want to buy a fedora hat that doesn’t quite fit you or your style.
That’s why, at American Hat Makers, we work hard to make finding the perfect women’s fedora easy for you.
Fedoras for Women in Wide Brim, Flat Brim, Felt
Women’s fedoras come in all sorts of styles and materials, so how do you choose the right one?
Wide-brim women’s fedoras are exceptional at blocking out sun and rain. They are also universally flattering — no matter your face shape, a wide-brim fedora will look amazing!
Flat-brim women’s fedoras are eye-catching hats that are perfect for both casual and elegant settings.
We prefer women’s fedora hats made of felt; you won’t have to deal with a heavy, floppy brim getting in the way, and despite its softness, felt holds its shape exceptionally well.

Many Styles, the Same Quality Construction
When talking about the shape of a fedora, multiple pictures may come to mind. And as hat connoisseurs, we’re proud to say we make fedoras in the most popular silhouettes, highlighting the true versatility of this style.
There’s the iconic trilby, a more petite hat with an oval crown and either a diamond, open, or center crease along the top. This fedora hat comes to a rounded off point at the front center of the crown and has two pronounced indents on either side.
The style is completed by perhaps it’s most distinguishing feature: a snap brim.
Think of a narrow brim that turns down slightly at the forehead and gradually bends until it is upturned in the back - similar to the hats made popular by the likes of silent film star Charlie Chaplin and singer Avril Lavigne.
A common variation of this is also a hat that has a thin, slightly upturned curl all around the brim, creating a rounded silhouette. A trilby style women’s fedora hat can add both a bit of menswear-inspired refinement to any outfit or a bit of edge, depending on how you style it.
Then there are the more relaxed, rancher fedora hats for women. These infused vintage western style with buttoned-up class in one artfully made hat. You’ll find a crown, crease, and bold pinch similar to the trilby hat, but often with a wider brim.
The brim shapes also vary. You may find a leather rancher fedora with a slight downturn at the front, a brim that’s slightly downturned around the entire circumference of the hat, or a brim that is gently turned up at the sides. The latter is reminiscent of a women’s cowboy hat but maintains the fedora-shaped crown.
Lastly, we have two of our most popular styles: the wide brim felt and straw fedora hat for women and the straw panama hat.
These have a large flat brim or a large brim that’s been slightly upturned all around to let light on your face, while still protecting you from the elements.
Regardless of the fedora hat style you choose to wear, you can be sure you’ve chosen the best quality and craftsmanship with an American Hat Makers item.
