Braving The Brim: 8 Reasons To Buy A Bucket Hat
Are you bold enough to wear one? Or better yet, can you actually pull one off and still look cool?
Rappers like LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg and Schoolboy Q all took cues from Gilligan’s closet and transformed this fisherman style topper from the aughts into somewhat of a functional trend. And with more and more designers bridging the gap between typical sportswear and fashionable throwbacks, labels like BCBG and Tommy Hilfiger are hopping on the 90s’ bandwagon — and with it, bringing the ubiquitous bucket hat.
To better prepare you for this risky path to purchase, consider our guide below for braving one of the boldest hats out there.
We suggest stopping all other activities that involve wearing this accessory unless you are:
1. At the beach
2. Caught in torrential rain
3. Allergic to the sun
4. Hiding an incredibly bad hair day
5. Using it as an actual bucket (i.e. a bowl)
6. Conducting a morning walk of shame
7. Within 100 feet of a pool
8. Island hopping
