It’s most likely the best accessory to hide a bad hair day while also giving you some sun protection, and the cool thing is it’s in fashion!
Often topping off the heads of hikers, fishermen and farmers, the bucket hat is turning heads on and off the runway.
Bucket hats are everywhere right now, and it’s easy to see why since they work with just about any style.
Some designers are even making embellished bucket hats for evening wear, proving they’re more versatile than ever.
What’s more, bucket hats suit everyone – men, women, children, and anyone who wants to rock one. You can style them your way: with the brim up for a fun look, brim down for a bit of mystery, or a mix of both to keep things interesting.

Textured and woven, it’s just right for wearing on hot summer days, while jazzing up any outfit with its bright tones.
Also boasting an intricate woven craftsmanship is Longchamp’s latest.
In a natural beige tone, the French brand’s Summer 2025 headwear gives off a relaxed and elegant vibe.
When it comes to a bucket hat that is top of the line, Dries Van Noten presents one, which is fabulously furry.
The black and white plush piece combines whimsy and luxury with aplomb.
Equally eye-catching is the black bucket hat from Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection.
The colour could be basic but it is embellished with silvery tassels that add fun and movement as the model sashays down the runway, commanding attention with its playful sophistication.
Also staying on top of the trend is Fendi. The brand’s bucket hat for men, adorned with the signature double F insignia and worn brim-up on the model, doubles as style inspiration if you want to bring your own twist to the look.
Sacoor Blue’s bright orange number is also worn this way (with the brim flipped upward), which looks pretty playful and cool, and adds a pop of personality.

Classic and sophisticated is the version from Italian menswear brand Brioni where the bucket hat comes in a brown-grey shade and features a smart, sharp and stylish silhouette.
Perfect for both casual and dressy outfits, it adds a polished edge with a touch of dandy flair, making it ideal for men who are true style connoisseurs.
On the local front, Malaysian label Carlo Rino offers a bucket hat with a touch of playful panache.
Made from a warm-weather-appropriate fabric, the design comes in a sweet lilac colour and embroidered with a geometric Tetris pattern.
Now, that’s a game changer!
