Create an accountHow to Style a Bucket Hat in 2026
18 Jan 2026

Bucket hats are one of the most versatile accessories in your wardrobe. They blend function with fashion, no matter your personal style. Once known mainly for sun protection and outdoor utility, today’s bucket hats are a global trend worn by fashion lovers, streetwear enthusiasts, and style trendsetters alike.
Whether you’re new to bucket hats or ready to wear them like a pro, here are stylish ways to make them work with your favourite outfits.
Casual & Everyday Cool
Elevate even the simplest outfit with a bucket hat.
- Pair a classic cotton bucket hat with a plain tee and denim.
- Add clean sneakers or slip-ons for a relaxed, everyday vibe.
- Neutral-toned hats like black, beige, or cream work with virtually anything.
Why it works: The bucket hat softens casual basics while keeping your look intentional and comfortable. A style we love is the Washed Bucket by Kangol. Created in washed cotton, this lightweight bucket hat is perfect for chilly months and offers ample sun protection, delivering a clean, timeless look for all seasons.

Summer & Sun-Ready Bucket Hats
Bucket hats are perfect for sunny days — stylish and practical.
- Wear with breezy sundresses, swimsuits, shorts, or lightweight linen pieces.
- Straw or canvas styles are ideal for beach walks, park picnics, or weekend getaways.
Pro tip: Choose hats made from breathable materials that keep you cool and protected. Try the Bermuda Casual Bucket for effortless style in a range of bold colours like lemon sorbet and warm apricot. Crafted in soft Bermuda fabric, this hat is beautiful to the touch and an effortless way to top up your favourite summer outfits.

Athleisure & Active Days
A buxket hat is a great way to make a sporty outfit feel complete.
- Combine your bucket hat with joggers, hoodies, or activewear tops.
- Belt bags, sporty sunglasses, and lace-up runners create an on-the-go aesthetic.
Style tip: A slightly tilted brim adds personality to a sporty look. Try pairing Kangol’s Bermuda Bucket Hat with sporty accents or patterns that complement your activewear.

Streetwear & Urban Edge
Go bold with bucket hats in streetwear outfits.
- Pair printed or graphic bucket hats with cargo pants or oversized tees.
- Elevate the vibe with chunky sneakers or layered jackets for a trend-forward feel.
Style tip: Mixing textures like denim, leather, and cotton adds depth and attitude to your outfit. Try a bold colour blend like the 70s Stripe Bucket to add flair and interest to everyday outfits.

Play With Prints & Patterns
A bucket hat can be the centrepiece of your outfit.
- Don’t be afraid to mix patterns — stripes, florals, and checks can play nice together.
- Keep the rest of the look simple if your hat is bold, or go all-in with colors for maximum flair.
Tip: Let the hat lead — coordinate colours with the rest of your outfit for stylish balance. One of the more interesting hats we’ve seen this season is the Tie Dye Bucket, a lightweight classic crafted in 100% cotton with a new-age twist that makes a trendy style for impromptu summer festivals and hip everyday wear.

Quick Styling Tips for Bucket Hats
- Brim positioning matters: Wearing your hat low over your brow feels casual; a slight tilt can make it edgy.
- Hair looks great too: Bucket hats pair well with loose waves, braids, or ponytails that peek out beneath the brim.
- Seasonal fabrics: Choose canvas and straw for summer, and wool blends for cooler months.
