Women’s Bucket Hat Outfits for 2025 [From the ’90s]

Ah, the ’90s. We sing your praises for bringing us Tamagotchis, AOL chat, the Spice Girls, and so much more. Every Y2K trend that makes a comeback brings with it a surge of nostalgia. Butterfly clips, platform shoes, choker necklaces, and my personal favorite, the bucket hat craze!

It doesn’t matter whether you were one of those ’90s kids repping your bucket hat outfits on the playground or you have no idea how to wear a bucket hat in the first place. There are plenty of ways to bring a fresh twist to this hip-hop style staple from 30 years ago.

Check out these women’s bucket hat outfits inspired by Gigi Pip’s very own bucket hat collection. 

1. Soak Up The Sun In Your Summer Bucket Hat Outfit

‘90s bucket hats are the perfect pairing of style and functionality. The brim protects your face from the sun, making it the ideal hat for a hot summer day. Wear your bucket hat to the beach, lake, or pool, then toss it in your beach bag when you take a dip.

All our bucket hats are durable and easy to stow away in your day-to-day bag or even your carry-on as you head out on a tropical vacation. Some even have a satin inner lining and adjustable inner band, so you can customize them to be the perfect fit to your head and hair.

Still unsure of how to wear your bucket hat? Here are som ideas! Style yours with a swimsuit and an oversized button-down coverup for a sophisticated twist on the ’90s bucket hat trend. Or, throw on a tank and cut-off denim shorts for an easy summer look that leaves you ready for any spontaneous adventure.

2. How To Wear A Bucket Hat On A Chilly Day

Good news! No need to put this ‘90s styling piece away when summer comes to an end because bucket hats are equally suited for fall and winter. Pair a bucket hat with a sweatsuit and puffy vest on chilly days out running errands. Or top off your jeans and trench coat with a bucket hat to protect your fresh locks on a cold, damp day.

The brim will keep the wind, rain, and snow out of your face as you trudge down the sidewalk for school pickup or a dash to the car for your morning commute. And don’t forget to roll up the front for a casual, customized look!

3. Add A Fun 90s Bucket Hat Twist To Your Dressier Looks

We’re not one to proclaim any hard and fast fashion rules. But if there’s one principle we stand by, it’s this. An unexpected twist can elevate just about any outfit. So, when you’re seeking a statement with your dressier looks, a 90s bucket hat is the perfect finishing touch.

It’s unexpected, fun, and a little bit funky—ensuring your outfit will make a splash at dinner, a birthday party, or any other occasion. Not sure how to wear a bucket hat with a dressy look? We love the idea of matching a neutral bucket hat with a statement dress or even dress pants and a blazer to take your look to the next level.

4. Top Off a Casual Outfit with a Bucket Hat

Before bucket hats took the ’90s hip-hop scene by storm, they were a wardrobe staple for Irish fishermen—meaning the accessory is rooted in casual style. Naturally, then, a bucket hat is a perfect finishing touch to your classic jeans and T-shirt combo.

Whether you’re wearing a graphic tee, striped top, or your favorite pair of overalls, a bucket hat and some cool kicks will add interest to an otherwise basic outfit. 

5. Pair Your Bucket Hat with a Denim-on-Denim Moment

Channel your inner ’90s icon by pairing a bucket hat with a full denim outfit. We’re talking high-rise jeans, a tucked-in tee, and a slightly oversized denim jacket. It’s giving off-duty model meets throwback street style—and we are so here for it.

Want to lean all the way into the ’90s bucket hat outfit aesthetic? Try a faded or distressed denim wash, chunky sneakers, and maybe even some layered chokers or a mini backpack to complete the look. For a modern twist, go monochrome: black denim paired with a sleek black bucket hat is effortlessly cool and perfect for everything from coffee runs to casual Fridays at the office.

Whether you’re reaching for vintage Levi’s or a structured denim romper, a bucket hat is the ultimate way to top off the look with personality—and just the right amount of edge.
