For our summers you neede a Panama hat!!! Felt is just too hot.
There has been mention of the newsboy caps, for those of us in the south and west a hat is much better for blocking sun and cancer prevention on tops of ears and neck.
Hi,
I think one can wear a Fedora style hat with just about anything, really. Especially the thin ribbon ones. Take a look at my avatar. That is a 1950s Stetson Open Road reshaped into a Stratoliner style on my head. I am in jeans and a ratty sweatshirt on a bulldozer heading out to bushhog an overgrown field. Looks like the style fits ok to me!
I am always wearing a hat, and usually with jeans, golf shirt and boots. Usually thin ribbon and either a C crown or Diamond crease thin ribbon. About 1/4 of the time I go with an Alpine crease, which is to say the typical Western look.

My hat preferences run toward this for winter wear.
For summers, this or this.
Because I live in the south, I want a hat with a brim. My wife has vetoed every brimmed hat I have looked at with the exception of this Trilby.
My summer Ivy caps are generally inexpensive because the weather will beat them to death in a few years, if I haven't mislaid them and walked off without them by then. My winter caps are much better quality.
As for the Fedora, it is my first and I didn't want to part with a lot of cash. In a year or two, I'll either be done with it, or ready to replace it with a quality model.
And yes, women in Fedoras can be very attractive. The hat was originally intended as female attire.

Never take any kind of advice from someone who needs mental help.
