The bucket hat has long been a wardrobe staple of seemingly every rapper, 90s raver or Liam Gallagher wannabe.
Those in the know will be aware of its return to fashion in 2019 – mostly in Gucci or “retro” incarnations.
The humble head-topper could be the sleeper hit of this summer and if you can’t get your hands on a retro version, then turn to IKEA.
Yes, IKEA has nudged its way into the fashion scene thanks to its collaboration with designer Virgil Abloh.
In fairness to the Swedish brand, it’s been quietly crypto-cool ever since its inception in 1942, but Abloh’s seal of approval has officially elevated IKEA into the “hype” stratosphere.
The Ikea Bucket Hat is made from its signature blue bags. The hat quickly sold out online, leading to a surge in pricing – it’s now around £12.99 on various websites. I would advise you to click “purchase” right now, before prices skyrocket even further and the IKEA-bucket-hat bubble bursts.
If you remember last summer, it was all about the Ikea blue carrier bags being the “must-have” summer accessory. This year it’s the Ikea Bucket Hat. Who knows what’s coming next year – blue bag jeans and yellow belt?
