30 aesthetic outfits with bucket hats for men.

Fit:

A bucket hat needs to fit your head comfortably. It shouldn’t be too loose to send you running after it frantically every time the wind blows. Similarly, it shouldn’t be too tight to give you a  headache. 

Colors:

Like a baseball cap, a bucket hat in neutral tones is the easiest to style and the best option available for guys. Styling a bucket hat in black is a breeze, the same can be said about a white bucket hat. You can always opt for bolder and brighter colors for your bucket hat if you are confident enough to pull it off. Earthy tones and pastels both are equally stylish options for guys who are looking to kick their casual streetwear or resort style up a notch. 

Matching the shades and colors:

You can style a bucket hat just the way you style a baseball cap or a beanie. It’s important to match a part of your outfit with the bucket hat. Keeping the hat and the shirt or the pants (or the shorts whatever you are wearing) in matching shades is one of the best things you can do. Even better, you can keep the shirt (or bottoms) and the bucket hat in similar colors for a sophisticated look. You do the same when styling a baseball cap or even a beanie in winter. A plain white tee and a white bucket hat are made for each other, you will appreciate that. A bucket hat in camo print would look great with a tee or any other top in hues of green, khaki, or brown, and it would look equally dapper with a pair of khaki trousers. 

Summer or winter?: Using a bucket hat to your advantage (both for stylishness and protection against the elements) in summer is a no-brainer. Men have used this hat for decades when camping, fishing, and vacationing at beach resorts. But does that make the bucket hat off-limits during winter? Not at all. They look equally stylish when worn with winter casual ensembles. You can rock a bucket hat with your fall outfits featuring sweatshirts, hoodies, and jackets. This makes a bucket hat qualify for the title of a hat for all seasons. 

When to wear a bucket hat?

Outdoor activities, to the beach, following the sun, camping, fishing, and hiking, you name an outdoors masculine activity, a bucket hat will fit in nicely with the outfits you’ll be choosing. Apart from these outdoor activities, you can incorporate this hat into your street-style swag, it will work like a breeze.  But what about using a bucket hat with formal dressing options for guys? Not a great idea. A bucket hat is not meant to be dressed up to accompany formal outfits, it is just not created for that. But that’s no rule of thumb, if you believe you can pull off a bucket hat with formal attire, you can go for it. Wear a bucket hat with a smart casual suit outfit sans necktie, for a dressier bucket hat outfit. 

Wearing a bucket hat with long hair:

When you are sporting long hair, you are supposed to keep them under control by wearing a hat. It’s better to tie them in a ponytail. If you believe in letting your hair wild and unkempt, you can leave it down, a bucket hat will work just as well. This chapeau will help your locks brave the gusts of winds and stay attached to the roots. If you sport medium-length hair, you can place the bucket hat at the crown of your head and let the bangs stay seated at your forehead.

Making it look better:

Sunglasses work like a charm with a bucket hat(especially the black ones or the ones in earthy tones) and to improve on your bucket hat outfit focus on color coordination and accessorizing the outfit you are planning to put on.
