Fedora and Trilby Hats – What’s the Difference?

Usher brixton gain fedora hat light grey 3 horz

A debate is beginning to develop over what constitutes a fedora. The two have almost become homogeneous due to the changes they have gone through since they were regarded as de rigueur for any self-respecting gentleman. In fact you would be more than forgiven should you not be able to pick out the aesthetic differences between the two.

So next time that impeccably dressed man at the bus stop asks you the differences between a fedora and trilby, simply quote the following. A fedora is conventionally defined by its wider brim, band and bow. Trilbies in contrast possess a narrower brim and ribbon. The confusion between the two has really developed as more American designed trilbies have a wide ribbon similar to that of the classic fedora.
The wide ribbons are not the only feature that has muddled many a man; brim size and crown heights have also become part of the grey area. This trilby-fedora hybrid has laid waste to the pronounced wide brim fedora of yesteryear. Luckily in this case half measures very much do avail with the modern fedora suiting 21st century sartorial dress to a tee – combining very well with the clean cut and slim line approach that so often epitomises the term well dressed.

Prada Spring Summer 2011 Mens Shoes, Bags And Accessories

Miuccia Prada has a warp and often very different sense of what she wants to portray in her collections. This is what make her work so unique and fascinating against other designers. For Spring Summer 2011, Miuccia focuses on her concept of youth, as in young men in years of college varsity and interns in healthcare. Hospital looking garbs, huge 'varsity' inspired bags/pouches with personalised alphabets are matched with some of the weirdest looking shoes. Ronald McDonald will now be an even happier clown. Classic brogues are given a twist and turned into creeper style shoes with ultra thick soles and given lego block colours! Is this Miuccia Prada's version of 'male platforms'?!?!? I love it for the quirk and fun of the designs, very bold and indifferent. Can't wait to try on a pair when they hit the stores next year.
