The bucket hat survived fishing, the 1990s and rave culture, so Pride was never going to scare it.

Gay Bucket Hats takes an already playful silhouette into festivals, beaches and summer Pride, where practical shade and deliberately unserious styling can coexist happily. Wear one with tiny shorts, swimwear, a crop top or sunglasses that suggest the day started several hours later than everybody else's. The hat will cope.

See all gay hats, compare gay caps and gay visors, add gay sunglasses, or take the whole situation directly to gay swimwear.

Some trends return because fashion has no memory. Bucket hats returned because they are fun.
