It makes a comeback every year, our favourite bucket hat! The massive 2020 trend from the Dior and Chanel runways makes its way into 2021, thanks to celebs and influencers sporting it on social media.

But you’d be surprised to know that it first appeared in 20th century Ireland as a functional piece for farmers and fishermen. Yup, this hat design was super useful for them because it features a downward sloping brim that protected them from the sun and rain. It is also said that the American military used bucket hats during the Vietnam war for UV protection. The uber-cool piece then became popular in the late 80s and 90s hip-hop and R&B scene with artists sporting the trend.

Available in multiple colours, prints and textures, the bucket hat is a sure-shot way of making a statement. And we got to say, its relaxed design aesthetic does add a chill vibe to any look. Often worn during the summers, the bucket hat has also made its way into people’s winter closets and has become a versatile accessory.
