What: New Yorkers have got it made in the shade, protecting delicate city skin from the sun’s blazing rays with - what else? - super cool summer fedoras.

What the fashion heads say: From New York Times Fashion & Style page: 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..

What I say: It does harken to the days of Sinatra and Martin, and who was cooler than the Rat Pack, really? The best way to make it work in your town is to pair a straw number with a sweet and simple summer dress (women) or a chino-and-tee-shirt combo (men). And wear it like you just don’t care …

My husband LOVES fedoras.  He usually prefers the felt ones, but those straw versions look so sharp for summer!

Well, I used to love fedoras.  But Britney Spears has ruined them for me.  Now they are a total turnoff.
