I agree with most of what has been said here. Most of my fedoras (both felt and straw) are semi-casual and I consider them hybrids that can be worn with both casual clothes and more formal attire.
I was amazed to find that my recently acquired Stetson Whippet actually looks good with casual clothes and even jeans. However, that may be due to the fact its a nice medium gray color, and has a little bit of a worn look to it.
I also have a thin-ribboned VS custom in natural felt that looks awesome with a pair of blue jeans and a button up shirt tucked in.
However, I do have one rule. If I'm going to wear any kind of t-shirt (and I rarely wear non-collared shirts) I have to go with a flat cap. I just cannot do a fedora with a t-shirt. I'd say the same for shorts, but I never wear them anyway.
