Bucket hats and summer go together like peanut butter and jelly, and they’re so nostalgic. Think back to the early 1990s when the late Princess of R&B, Aaliyah, stayed in a bucket hat while cheesing for the camera. And, we can’t forget LL Cool J who basically invented the Kangol bucket hat.
The newest bucket hat fashion trend that is sweeping the internet—and streets—is the accessory’s crochet version. Everywhere you turn, or everywhere you swipe, you’ll likely see someone in one of the trendy hats to help protect their melanin from the sun’s harsh rays.
The EBONY fashion team wants you to stay up on the latest fashion trends, so we’ve gathered seven crochet bucket hats for you to shop. From Black-owned brands to our favorite fast fashion retailers. There’s something in here for everyone. Even if your head is a little on the larger side, the hats we picked out for you will still accentuate your features—as well as those with curly hair or even braids.
