7 Glorious Bucket Hats For Summer (Because They're Back Whether You Like It Or Not)

Hello 90's nostalgiašŸŒˆ

They say if you are old enough to remember a trend happening the first time round you shouldnā€™t wear it again, but weā€™re willing to take the sartorial risk because these hats are just too good to miss.

Bucket hats may remind you of ā€˜Fear And Loathing In Las Vegasā€™ or Shaun Ryder in the early nineties but this nostalgic item is making a comeback.

Here are our seven favourites from the internet right now - and the crazier the better.

Leopard print bucket hat, &OtherStories, Ā£27

We love a leopard - coats, shirts, trousers, you could sell us anything in that animal print. This bucket hat is not only our favourite print but will work perfectly with all those pastel denim things we also want to buy for summer. Not to mention itā€™s a perfect high street copy of the (super spenny) Ganni bucket hat.

Black bucket hat, Monki, Ā£15

Feeling like you want to dip your toe into the bucket hat trend but worried youā€™re not brave enough for a loud print? Donā€™t worry weā€™ve got you. Try this black version from Monki. Itā€™s not going to break the bank either.

80s printed bucket hat, Urban Outfitters, Ā£10

Okay, youā€™re here and youā€™ve committed to the bucket hat. You want to look like an extra from a ā€˜Top of The Popsā€™ episode in 1991 so this is the hat for you. Just imagine how good this would look at a festival with a bright lipstick and messy braids. It wonā€™t even matter you havenā€™t washed for 3 days.

Sun stash hat, The North Face, Ā£21.99

We know your dad still shops at North Face, but hey, the man has style. Donā€™t be afraid of embracing your inner middle-aged shopper and going for a brand that is not only cool (donā€™t @ me) but damn practical. This waterproof bucket hat will keep your head dry when the British summer inevitably gets wet.

Pure cotton bucket hat, Marks & Spencer, Ā£15

If you need proof the bucket hat is back for 2019 then may we present this compelling evidence - even M&S is stocking them. Theyā€™ve got two different versions (one in white and one in a pale denim) but we think youā€™re less likely to end up matching your elderly family members in a white one. Pick it up while youā€™re buying your lunchtime meal deal.

Neon zebra bucket hat, ASOS, Ā£14

Maybe weā€™ve gone too far with this one...? Neon, zebra AND bucket hat. Well if anyone can pull it off, we think you can. Not to mention it has this super-practical little black neck string so if it comes off your head youā€™re not going to lose it. Practical AF.

HuffPost UK

Corduroy blue bucket hat, COS, Ā£14

And finally, last but not least, weā€™ve blended two of our favourite trends - bucket hats and corduroy. This blue velvet crush colour cord is quite honestly a dream and the fact it is in the COS sale is the universe telling us we NEED to have it.
