THE BUCKET HAT IS BACK

At this point, you know the drill when it comes to trends. What’s old will always be new again. Style is cyclical, for better or for worse. Right now, we’re living in a Y2K renaissance, an age of mega platforms, sweater vests, and—you guessed it—bucket hats. But unlike some trends (ahem, whale tails), the bucket hat is a worthy one. The style frames your face in all the right ways and is a great all-season accessory. Besides, anything that helps shield you from the sun’s rays is practically an anti-aging skincare investment. Fashion and beauty collide! Still skeptical about the throwback look? Don’t be. Read on for proof that there is indeed a bucket hat for every season and aesthetic.
