One of the summer’s hottest trends in accessories is still going strong for fall-winter 2022. Yes, the luxury designer bucket hat is still on trend – it’s just taken on more texture, brighter colors and heavier fabrics. Our correspondent Julie Chang Murphy has curated a list of 10 of the best luxury designer bucket hats for the fall winter season, including looks from top names like Burberry, Gucci and Jacquemus.
why is the bucket hat so effortlessly chic?
If you want to impart a touch of cool and eccentricity to your outfit, look no further than the fall’s hottest accessory: the bucket hat.
We first spotted them on street style trendsetters attending New York Fashion Week in 2019 and now they are everywhere. The gender neutral favorite has been spotted on the attractive noggins of celebs like Rihanna to Justin Beiber, Kaia Gerber to Kanye West.
Many of the luxury designer names we all know and love showed bucket hats on their runways: Prada, Dior, Valentino, Burberry, Jacquemus, and Fendi.
And as I write this from a family reunion at a Midwest lake house, I see the trickle down effect has been swift. All the high school and college-aged nieces, nephews, and cousins are sporting them. As celebrity stylist Zadrian Smith says, “A bucket hat says the wearer is a little more relaxed and chill and has a sense of style, ease, and cool.” Though they may seem more summery, when rendered in quintessential fall textiles and patterns like suede, wool plaids, faux fur and leather – the mood is instant luxury.
We went in search of the 10 best luxury bucket hats to top off your ensemble and look effortlessly chic.
