Ask anyone to picture Jason Mraz and the same image comes up: acoustic guitar, easy smile, and a soft short-brim hat tilted just so. The trilby has been part of the Mraz look since "The Remedy" and "I'm Yours," and it's every bit as much his signature as the melodies. If you've searched for the Jason Mraz hat, here's exactly what it is — and how to wear it.
What hat does Jason Mraz wear?
Mraz's go-to is a short-brim trilby — a fedora's smaller, more casual cousin, with a snapped, narrow brim and a pinched, teardrop crown. His are usually soft wool or felt in warm neutrals like tan, putty, and grey, worn low and relaxed rather than dressed up. In summer he swaps to a lighter straw version of the same shape. The whole point is easygoing: it's a hat that looks like you threw it on and walked out the door.

How to wear it like Mraz
The trick isn't the hat so much as the attitude. Wear it low and relaxed, brim slightly down, with everyday clothes — a henley or tee, jeans, boots. Keep the color in the warm-neutral family and let it look effortless. It's a hat that works on stage and at a coffee shop, which is exactly why it stuck.
