Fedoras have that undeniably old school vibe about them. No matter what outfit you’re wearing, a fedora conjures up memories of Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack. The new school crowd (i.e. our generation) have taken the classic hat to new heights. Women now don fedoras along with their Gucci clutches, Tiffany earrings and Manolos. The women above have this look down to a science and if you need more inspiration check out Erykah and this other Rihanna pic.

Style Spotlight: Tomiko Fraser

Model Tomiko Fraser has style oozing out of her pores; if you don't know about her then please get to know! She is currently the face of cosmetics company Maybelline and was the first African-American model signed to the company. She also works extensively with Lupus Erythematosus organizations trying to raise awareness of the disease (her sister has Lupus). It would be easy to think that all models are naturally stylish, but in my opinion most of them lack innate style (bar Kate Moss and Helena Christensen!) Tomiko also seems to know what works perfectly for her body, as shown here where she's pictured arriving at the opening celebration of Gregory Colbert's Exhibition "Ashes and Snow" earlier this year. Tomiko has appeared on runway shows for Chloe, Chanel, Vera Wang, Vivienne Westwood and Emmanuel Ungaro and is trying her hand at acting... She's a girl with many talents!
