How To Pick And Style A Bucket Hat
Bucket hats are something I tried to avoid for as long as possible. When I saw them picking up popularity, I kept thinking of fishermen or toddlers... which are both great things, but not in my style wheel-house.
But wow... I was SO WRONG!
The trick to styling a bucket hat in a manner that isn't too juvenile or too "streetwear" is to pick a neutral color.
I saw a beige on from Burberry with their classic "nova check" pattern and my whole opinion of this fashion accessory flipped on its head.
Luckily, I was able to find this similar one on Depop, so if you're not sure where to start, start there.
High-Fashion
Paring the bucket hat with other neutral pieces is my favorite way to go about wearing this accessory. The pairing pieces are high-quality and feminine, like this coat and boots.
This ensures that the bucket hat works to amplify my feminine style, not diminish it.
Casual
I always love to throw in a casual look because this is how most of us leave the house day-to-day.
I paired the bucket hat with a crew-neck sweater and a neutral grey skirt (to tie in the hat color-wise, but bring the looks some feminine flare).
It ended up looking pretty "streetwear" but wasn't too baggy or boyish for my taste.
As intended
Turns out, I do dress like a fisherman every once in a while! My fiance and I went on a camping trip and my bucket hat was perfect for the occasion.
So not only is this piece versatile in the way you can style it, but also in it's utility!
I highly recommend giving this accessory a try this spring.
It's a really fun piece to style!
Love,
