How do you wear a bucket hat?

There are many ways to wear a bucket hat, including:

  • Angled. Tilt the hat to one side to add dimension and create a more angular look. This style is best suited to square and round faces.
  • Oversized. Best suited for oval and heart-shaped faces, wearing a low and oversized bucket hat balances narrow chins and draws attention to the upper face.
  • Tilted up. Wearing a bucket hat farther back, as if it is a kippah, lengthens the face and looks great on rounder faces. It can also accentuate your cheekbones.
  • Brim up. Flipping the brim upwards like a sailor hat can help balance a wider forehead or draw attention to strong cheekbones.
  • Lid up. Flipping only the front part of the bucket hat’s brim looks great on square or diamond faces. It can break up sharp angles and add flattering depth to angular features.
  • Relaxed. Setting the bucket hat loosely on your head, rather than pulling it tight, creates a soft natural frame that looks great on oval and square faces. This is quite a
    stylish approach, giving you that ‘street-casual’ model look.
  • Standard. There’s nothing wrong with the classic style of wearing your bucket hat evenly and tight on your head. This look suits most head shapes and goes with any style.

Are bucket hats in style?

Bucket hats are one of the most dynamic fashion items, staying in style for decades despite an ever-shifting status quo. They evoke memories of the early 2000s and 1990s, while also offering a practical application that interests those who aren’t worried about trendiness.

What size is a large bucket hat?

Large bucket hats have a 58-60cm (23”) circumference. Extra large bucket hats are 60-62cm (24”) in circumference, and 2XL bucket hats are 62-64cm (25”) in circumference.

What face shape suits a bucket hat?

Bucket hats are a versatile fashion item suitable for most face shapes and head sizes. Oval face shapes suit most styles of bucket hats. Square and diamond face shapes suit a symmetrical bucket hat look while angled styles are well suited for rounder face shapes.
