Whether you’re going to the gym, running errands, or skating along the beach, the bucket hat-athleisure combo is sure to turn heads.  

Summer Vibes

With its wide and low brim providing ample sun protection, the bucket hat is an excellent companion for sunny days at the beach or park. Opt for Brixton's Lopez Panama Straw Bucket Hat made from 100% Panama straw, this hat is lightweight and breathable.

Edgy Elegance

Who says bucket hats can't be edgy? Brixton's collection includes bucket hats with unique prints and patterns, perfect for those who like to stand out from the crowd.

Retro Glam

Step into the playful, nostalgic vibe and pay homage to the fashion of years gone by with our ever-popular vintage-inspired bucket hats. These classic headwear pieces add a touch of old-school charm to your ensemble. 

To embrace retro glam, pair your chosen bucket hat with high-waisted pants, a tucked-in blouse, and platform shoes, which not only add a vintage touch but also provide ample comfort for a day of exploring in style. 

Festival Fashion

A good hat should always be a priority when spending time outdoors. Not only do our Brixton bucket hats offer great sun protection, but they’re also extremely stylish and easy to incorporate into your festival outfit. 

Why not make your style statement with our Jasper Packable Bucket Hat? Woven with care and attention to detail, each hat is a unique masterpiece that complements the free-spirited atmosphere of festivals. Pair it with bohemian-style dresses with flowing fabrics and intricate patterns, creating an ethereal and whimsical vibe. Or opt for one of our basic bucket hats in black or white for a more modern, edgy aesthetic so you always stand out in the crowds.

Monochrome Magic

Bucket hats aren’t just for the beach or playful outfits. If you’re going for a more put-together outfit, opt for a monochromatic color palette complemented by a solid-colored bucket hat from our collection. Monochrome fashion never goes out of style and gives off a polished and refined finish.
