Fashion Trends: Bucket Hat

The "bucket hat" or fisherman's hat is a comfortable, practical and very versatile accessory.

It is one of the trends of this winter that will continue to be in fashion also in summer.

At present, most of the luxury brands and low cost clothing chains have proposals for this type of hat.

However, it was originally a work garment. This type of hat was used by Irish fishermen and farmers to protect themselves from rain and sun in the early 20th century.

Bucket Hat: A very functional garment made with water resistant fabrics, very easy to transport and also to clean

Its use spread little by little among the English upper classes who used it to practice outdoor activities (fishing, hiking, ...).

During the first half of the 20th century it was incorporated into military uniforms and in some countries soldiers continue to use it to protect themselves from the sun and rain.

Over time this type of hat, which was linked to outdoor activities, has been transformed into a fashionable product.

The first models appeared in the 1960s

In 1973, on the cover of Vogue Magazine for the month of June, a model appeared wearing a bucket hat.

In the 80s they became very popular because for many of the rap and hip-hop stars of the moment this accessory was indispensable.

During the 90s it was closely linked to the world of music, festivals and its use was also spread through movies and television series.

The Bucket Hat was one of the great fashion trends in the 90s, to the point of even being seen on a red carpet.

Then, like most fashion trends, it disappeared for more than a decade.

After some attempts to recover this garment that were not very successful, in 2019 Christian Dior takes the fisherman's hat to the catwalk and from that moment it returns with great force becoming the fashion accessory during the fall-winter 2019/20.

Since then and thanks to its versatility, which allows it to adopt almost infinite options in terms of fabrics and colors and that it adapts to both winter and summer, it has become the favorite accessory of many “celebrities” and we can find it in most Of the stores.
