Take a front selfie

Look straight into the camera with your whole head in the frame, hair as you usually wear it, no hat. Even lighting works best.

A bucket hat is a soft, unstructured hat with a rounded crown and a short brim that slopes down all the way round, usually in cotton twill, canvas or denim. It started out as a fishing and rain hat, which is why it packs flat and shades both the eyes and the back of the neck.

How it sits decides how it looks. Pulled down to the eyebrows with the brim shading the eyes, it reads relaxed; pushed back, it frames the face. A shorter, stiffer brim keeps it neat, a deeper and softer one leans toward a sun hat.

FAQ

How should a bucket hat fit?

The crown should sit down on your head without resting on your ears, and the brim should clear your eyes when you look straight ahead. If it covers your eyebrows completely, it is too big.

Are bucket hats unisex?

Yes. The cut is the same for everyone; brim depth and fabric are what change the look.
