Since its introduction at the turn of the 20th century, bucket hats have swayed in and out of fashion. The fisherman’s dwarfed-brim floppy hat made cameos in some iconic ’70s fashion moments (a certain image of Lauren Hutton comes to mind), while more recently buckets enjoyed It-hat status in the ’90s as they were embraced by both hip-hop pioneers and Tiger Beat–approved celebrities. With its one-size-fits-all ease and every-age appropriateness, the bucket hat makes its triumphant return this summer.

Brock’s beloved mommy-and-me Little House on the Prairie dresses are made that much more charming with canvas toppers, while peasant blouses ignite with downtown cool when worn with versions by Loewe. (So does Devon Aoki and her adorably behatted family, for that matter.) And the best accessory to pair with your bucket hat is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the bucket bag. To re-create the look, simply add them both to your summer shopping (bucket) list. Our favorite options, below.
