If you're headed on a vacation soon, maybe opt for a tie-dye or woven style or if you're going out with some friends, a nylon one will look so cool with a leather jacket, cutoffs, and cowboy boots. Here, we rounded up a whopping 25 bucket hats that will look so cute on your noggin, all while blocking out those harmful rays. Functional and stylish! What more could you ask for?
A good bucket hat will also include UPF, "which indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin," according to The Skin Cancer Foundation. As a reference, a UPF 50+ fabric blocks 98 percent of the sun’s rays, ensuring that your exposure is extremely limited. Of course, you should always put on face sunscreen as part of your everyday skincare routine, but wearing a bucket hat (or really any sun-blocking hat) is another protective measure. Some styles are also reversible, have neck ties so they won't fly off, and come with other cool features like silk lining to protect your hair or have wider brims that you can wear down or flip up. Below, shop the all-around greatest bucket hats on the internet to get your shopping started already!
