The bucket hat is an unquestioned summer staple. As well as its sun-shielding properties, it’s also a king of casual — ready to be styled with pretty much everything under the — you guessed it — sun. Unfortunately, though, fall and winter weather doesn’t really work with canvas, leaving your head the wrong kind of chilled.
Enter — the winterized bucket hat.
Dressing this universally loved headwear item in winter-ready materials, whether wool, fleece, or corduroy, is a stroke of genius, and bucket hats for winter are one of our favorite things around right now.
From an extra-bright piece from Brain Dead to dramatic luxury iterations by the likes of Kassl Editions, this selection proves that the bucket hat is no one-season accessory.
