You know that feeling when you just want to channel your inner ‘90s pop sensation but you can’t find the perfect way? Maybe that’s just us… regardless, this upcoming trend will have you serving that Missy Elliot x LL Cool J look you didn’t even know you needed.

Wait for it… BUCKET HATS! 

In case you haven’t been to Urban Outfitters or a Syracuse tailgate recently, we are here to tell you that bucket hats are everywhere. Cheetah bucket hats, denim bucket hats, neon bucket hats, fluffy bucket hats, you name it! While some haters are struggling to get past the fisherman’s flair that comes with the classic bucket hat, we at Jerk are in full support of this headwear craze. 

Off-White, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chloé, Alexander Wang, Dior, Fendi and Prada are only a few of the countless high-fashion labels to feature bucket hats in their latest runway looks. Yes, hot pink, monogrammed, wool, Gucci bucket hats are for sale as we speak- and no, we aren’t judging you for wanting one. 

Bucket hats aren’t just for the runway. Celebrities and fashion icons have been spotted sporting this ‘90s trend with just about everything lately. Kaia Gerber recently paired a patterned bucket hat with a business casual blazer outfit, while Bella Hadid was spotted in a matching transparent bucket hat and trench coat. Kylie Jenner also showed her love for the trend on Instagram this month when she posed in a fluffy cheetah bucket hat. Rihanna, Billie Eilish, Gigi Hadid, Tyler the Creator, Justin Bieber and even Leonardo DiCaprio are among the many other public figures who have explored the ~bucket hat movement~. 

The next time you are looking to elevate a simple outfit, don’t be afraid to throw on a funky hat. Bucket hats add a throwback street style to any look in an effortless way. Not to mention, they can cover up even the worst of bad hair days. 

Whether you need to add a little extra something to your tailgate #ootd or you just feel like stepping up your accessory game, throw on a bucket hat- you’ll look cool, we promise.
