When I think of bucket hats I think of the 90s, and the iconic figures wearing the bucket hats. I can’t remember owning one although I may have done, but I was never much of a fan. It’s been almost 20 years since the 90s, but this trend which was hot in the mid-late 90s now seems to be back.
It was a trend in the 90s which was adopted from people of all fashion worlds; From the Brit Pop rockers like Liam Gallagher to the world of Hip Hop culture, embraced by people like LL Cool J, and as seen on A listers with style such as Samuel L Jackson with the infamous Kangol bucket hats.
So if you’re looking for a 90’s trend and need some headwear, the bucket hat is the way to go. They’re back, with some great options available.
Here’s the best bucket hats you can buy this summer.

I love the colours in this bucket hat from Nike. It is from their festival range, so you can team it up with other clothing from the Festival Collection, which includes T Shirts, jackets and bottoms. The white and purple pattern and colour really does give serious 90’s vibes.
