Bucket hats have spent time in the limelight a couple of times over the past 100 years. Farmers and fishermen initially used them as a protective piece of clothing, then they were military-issued attire in the 60s and 70s. Bucket hats then found popularity in the hip-hop and rap scene in the 80s and 90s, but since then, they have been out of favor. That was until the mid-2010s when Melissa Forde released a line in 2015, and they then became a hit for SS2018. Brands like Fenty and Puma, Michael Kors, and Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel put them on the runway, followed by Lanvin and Valentino. The latest resurgence ties in with other 90s revival styles, such as scrunchies, over-sized t-shirts, and bandanas.
