If there’s one summer accessory trend designers can agree on this season, it’s the crafty and colorful crochet bucket hat. Ever since Vogue’s June/July issue last summer, in which Hailey Beiber sported a knitted hot pink and red swirled hat, we’ve been hooked.

These casual bucket hats provide an effortlessly laid-back look that gives off a mix of ’90s surf chill meets 2022 fashion girl aesthetics. The knitted patterns include everything from flowers to stripes to wiggly wavy triangles in all sorts of bubbly color combinations providing an endless amount of mood-boosting effects. Essentially these hats can offer two feelings that encapsulate the essence of summertime—a sense of freedom and joy.

What’s more, their floppy and soft silhouettes make them an ideal candidate for summer travel, roll one up in your suitcase or stuff one into your beach tote, stress-free. These hats perform best worn with a classic triangle bikini, ocean-soaked tresses, and layered with beaded or shell necklaces; however, you can add their playfulness atop any summer outfit, from day dresses to camp shirts. Everyone from independent brands—Memorial Day, Faithfull the Brand, and Gimaguas—to high-end designers have offered their own take on the knit style this season. Trust us, you won’t want to be without a crochet bucket hat come summer.
