The sun is out, the heat is way up, and people are coming out of quarantine ready to show off their post-pandemic style. Hang up your trucker cap and throw away that middle-school flat-rim, if you haven’t already, and say hello to the bucket hat. A timeless piece that protects your face and neck from rain or shine, nothing tops off a 2021 summer outfit like a bucket hat.
What to Look for in a Bucket Hat
As a bucket hat is likely to be the last thing you throw on before heading out the door, it’s important to consider the outfit that you’ll be complimenting. The variety of patterns and colors available can be overwhelming, but dress for the occasion. If you’re heading to an outdoor concert, consider a lightweight patterned hat. If you’re walking about the city streets, a sleek solid or block-colored hat will draw approving eyes from even the most judgmental.
Also, keep your eyes peeled for adjustable sizing and a rim length that won’t overshadow your face. The most important thing is to rock your bucket hat with complete confidence because, we promise you, it looks good.
Get ready to finish any outfit off with a flourish. Whether it’s at the beach, on the streets, or just covering up bedhead, we’ve picked out the best bucket hats for all your summery occasions.
