12 unconventional bucket hats that will protect you from the scorching sun this weekend

Remember when Rihanna and her BFF Melissa Forde brought back bucket hats in 2015 with the launch of Forde’s M$$ X Wkring Title line? (In actuality, Rihanna’s been wearing bucket hats since, well, ever.) Looks like it only took three years for the rest of us to catch up to a RiRi trend (not bad), because bucket hats are officially the hat trend of summer and we’re here for it.

From leopard print to tie-dye, floral to plaid, the options when it comes to what kind of bucket hat you’re into are seriously limitless. Whether you specialize in subtlety and just need a hat to protect you from the sun’s harmful rays this summer, or you want your bucket hat to be the standout piece in every one of your outfits this season, there’s the right version for you.
