In our opinion, the best winter fashion trends are ones that are as practical as they are cute. Bucket hats are undoubtedly one of these. A favorite fashion trend from the 90s had made a dynamic come back in 2022. For many people, bucket hats remind them of their childhood. Bucket hats from their beginning, are made from different materials. Do you know the history of those hats?
Irish farmers and fishermen used the bucket hat as a practical device to shield themselves from the sun and rain at first. Like so many other fashion classics, it was the London mods of the 1960s who first recognized their potential. The bucket hat replaced softer materials with stiffer ones, and any devoted fashion follower could be seen donning one in the boutiques of London Town. You only need to look at images of The Stones, The Kinks, or The Small Faces wearing them to see they were onto something.
A few years later, the first hip-hop crews in New York City’s projects and on its street corners drastically altered the bucket hat and made it their own. The Sugarhill Gang’s Big Bank Hank can be seen in the first-ever hip-hop music video for Rapper’s Delight from 1979 on YouTube sporting a light purple bucket hat. From that point on, wearing a bucket hat was instantly associated with living the B-Boy lifestyle in the 1980s. You’d be hard-pressed to locate a picture of Run DMC or LL Cool J in their prime wearing one of their signature hats; they’re as emblematic of hip-hop as a striped tracksuit or a VW logo hanging from a chain.
From then until the late 90s bucket hats were synonymous with hip-hop music and persisted in the streets well into the 1990s. Lauryn Hill and British rapper Monie Love popularized the look in
the 1990s, paying homage to the SugarHill Gang and LL Cool J who had worn them before. Even though interest in the hat began to diminish in the late 1990s, Jay Z was keen to keep it in the public eye as the early 2000s drew near.
The new age updated the “old classic” style and now bucket hats are also made from fur. They’re perfect for cold weather and make a fashionable statement all at the same. A fantastic fur bucket hat can work with anything, whether you’re wearing the standout item with a casual everyday appearance or dressing it up to match with a more sophisticated look.
