The latest trend in hats, you ask? That's the bucket hat, so act like you're going on vacation and pair one with a tropical shirt. The style isn't just on the Spring 2019 runways — John Elliott, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Anna Sui all sent iterations down the runway — but all over the street. Yes, there were a few rainy days during NYFW and bucket hats prove functional in dreary weather, but this is a clear fashion choice all on its own. While we tend to have to wait to shop the catwalk, lucky you: bucket hats are already stocked in your favorite stores. Just read on for some advice on how to wear one, and then start working the retro design into your wardrobe.
On the Spring 2019 Runways
On the Streets
Use a bright bucket hat to infuse a little more color into your outfit.
Style one with heels and smart slacks on a rainy day to play up the functional quality of your look.
A red topper like this one can match with whatever exciting top you've got under your trench.
Play with texture when you rock a furry sorbet design with your leather jacket.
A neutral-colored bucket hat is just the icing on the cake when you're already sporting a multidimensional look consisting of snakeskin boots and an embellished purse.
Wear one with a rainbow stripe to bring together a bunch of vibrant pieces.
Of course, you could always invest in one that perfectly matches your go-to rain jacket, if you prefer to keep things monochrome.
