t is almost impossible to believe that a hat that was once worn by fishermen centuries ago for sun protection has become a trend worth trying out. The ’90s are new again and bucket hats are not left out of this party. From interesting textures to hues, crafty designs to styles, bucket hats are indeed a summer essential to try this season.
Bucket hats are one of those ’90s timeless pieces we’ve refused to lose our grip on and why should we, really? This nostalgic and stylish hat elevates a look with a vintage edge and we are so in love with them. While the buzz is on, we must admit bucket hats are not the easiest or most effortless look to pull off but once done right, the result is a win.
When it comes to styling bucket hats, there are several routes to take however, the first step is to plan to play up the quirkiness of the hat with your ensemble. The unique structure of this hat means that it may not fare well in every ensemble, so it’s important to bring it out to play in a look it can win. For instance, casuals and elevated casuals are an easy way to go. In the first instance, you may decide to work your bucket hat into a summer-appropriate look such as Bermuda shorts paired with a chic blouse and platform sandals. Otherwise, play down the ‘seriousness’ of a suit with a pair of sneakers and an equally unserious bucket hat. It’s summer, and fun is most certainly welcome!
