Long beloved by fishermen, your dad, and beach-goers alike, bucket hats have become a fashion girl staple. Never pretentious and always relaxed, the best bucket hats deserve to be your warm-weather BFF. With its flat top and wide, unstructured brim, this variation on the sun hat is a playful style you can't take yourself too seriously in. Keen to channel less Gilligan’s Island and more Lauren Hutton? Style your bucket hat with a sundress or a beach coverup. With summer quickly approaching, give this versatile hat a try. (Bonus: Your dermatologist will thank you.)
Founded by a Chinese-American creative director, this New York-based brand is dedicated to being genderless and using deadstock and recycled fabrics.

Want your bucket hat to have some sort of versatile pattern? Enter: stripes.
