Making the Bucket Hat a Fashion Staple in 2023

Buckets of fun. When most people think of the bucket hat, they associate it with the youth-driven cultural revolution of the swingin' sixties. Today it's back as a staple on the best-dressed heads of Gen Z. 

Of course, the bucket's history goes back much further than the sixties. It was once a worker's cap, protecting fishermen and farmers from the sun and rain with its streamlined, short-brimmed design. As part of Irish tradition, the bucket hat shares a history with other delightful inventions, including colour photography, Guinness, and potato chips. As a Langley hat store, the bucket hat sits firmly at the top of our list. It is one of the most iconic and beloved hats in history—a style that has successfully transcended its utilitarian roots and transformed itself into a fashion accessory crowing the fashion world in 2023.

As a diverse style, it works for all genders, mainly thanks to designers who have riffed on the bucket with surprising structures, fabrics, and forms—we're looking at you, Prada—to psychedelic, eye-catching styles embraced by the likes of Rhianna and Gigi Hadid. If you're wondering where the bucket hat will go in 2023? It's time to look a-head.
