This year, Lock & Co. becomes an official licensee of Royal Ascot for the first time, a milestone that reflects our ongoing commitment to craftsmanship, heritage, and British ceremonial style.
From Savile Row to city streets, the fedora remains a cornerstone of modern dressing. At Lock & Co., we continue to see this timeless hat evolve - with subtle but powerful updates in material, tone and shape.
Below, we explore the five defining fedora trends of 2026.
Warm, natural hues are leading this year’s colour palette. Rich browns, greens, and neutral stone shades pair effortlessly with a wide variety of looks - from tonal tailoring to denim and fine knits.
This season favours clean, refined lines, narrow grosgrain bands, softly tapered crowns, and a quietly confident silhouette. Understated yet impactful, these are styles that speak for themselves.
Clients are increasingly opting for fedoras that offer structure with ease - ideal for spring through to autumn. Crafted from lighter materials, these styles are perfect for travel, warmer weather, and relaxed elegance.
Fedora fans are leaning into texture this year - from brushed finishes to deeper-pile felts with a natural sheen. These hats feel rich, dimensional, and quietly luxurious.
Individuality remains a hallmark of modern millinery. Lock & Co. clients are embracing bespoke lining monograms, custom ribbons, and our conformateur fitting experience for a shape tailored to perfection.
Undoubtedly. Their ability to evolve with modern wardrobes — while retaining timeless appeal — makes fedoras more relevant than ever. It’s less about rules, more about self-assured style.
