17 best bucket hats from the most covetable designers.

Designer Bucket Hat

Though you might have had quite a collection of bucket hats in the ‘90s, it’s time to take your retro toppers to new levels as they re-enter your fashion lexicon today.

Let’s start at the beginning: this now-classic cap was originally considered a fishing hat, especially in naturally waterproof in wool felt, and eventually useful for sun protection for the US Army during the Vietnam War. Bucket hats were adopted in women’s high fashion during the 1960s, and then became a very popular unisex style in street style during the ‘80s and ‘90s.

In 2022, bucket hats are still in style for men and women, and are brought back every summer. Top fashion brands make sure to have designer bucket hat styles in stock for the great demand they’re sure to bring once the weather warms up.

This is in part because of their utility — they’re great for shielding your face from the sun and protecting your hair during an unexpected downpour. Bucket hats are extremely fashionable because they’re a great ‘90s revival piece. Worn by rappers like LL Cool J, bucket hats will forever be associated with hip hop music of the 1990s and have been named one of the best ‘90s fashion trends.

Are designer bucket hats worth the splurge? We think so. A chic and well-made bucket hat will quickly become one of your favorite vacation pieces. Plus, just think about all those summer events and festivals: wearing a designer bucket hat, you know you’ll look great in all your selfies and photos with friends. Buy a bucket hat that stands out and your friends will never lose you in the crowd. 

From Chanel to Celine; Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and more; shop some extra-special versions of the trend with these high-fashion brands’ takes on the retro bucket hat.
