The '90s are back.

Bucket hats have swiftly come and gone like the wind when it comes to fashion trends. From Britney Spears' iconic bucket hat looks in the '90s to being more appropriate as a gag gift in the early 2000s, and now being featured on runways (and all over TikTok), bucket hats aren't just stylish and fun to wear—they're functional, too. Whether you're looking for a cute way to shield yourself from the sun's rays at the beach or just want a fun accessory to spice up your next jeans-and-tee look, there's a bucket hat to mach every style (take it from someone who was very anti-bucket hat till about a month ago).

If you're looking for a classic, vintage look there are crocheted hats embedded with flowers that are begging to be paired with a picnic and a sundress. Or, maybe you want something with a bit of an edge to wear on a night out—you'll have to check out the leather bucket hat. Can't get enough of the metallic trend? This gold bucket hat is screaming your name. There are even moisture-wicking bucket hats made specifically for athletes on those long runs (great for sweaty beach days, too!) and faux fur bucket hats made for the all-season bucket hat lover.

Bucket hats are the latest fashion essential, and while you could definitely invest in a luxury one, the best part is that most of them are under $20, making them the ultimate way to spice up any outfit on a budget. Here are the best bucket hats you can get right now:

The embroidered butterfly gives off serious '90s vibes, but the minimal design makes this a great classic hat you could pair with nearly anything. The firm, sturdy brim makes this great for sun protection, too.

The fringe on this hat makes it perfect for that effortlessly casual "Oh, this old thing? I just threw it on," look. It's even infused with SPF 50 fabric to really protect your scalp from the sun—perfect to pair with that new bikini of yours.

Just as hard to resist as Lululemon's cult-favorite leggings, this buttery soft, reversible bucket hat has a cool, chic side and a fun, printed side.

Not a fan of cherries? This grey-white tie-dye is great if you have a more neutral taste.

To be honest, any bucket hat can be unisex, but this universally-loved hat features a neutral color palette and Adidas' classic logo for a feel that's sporty, fashionable, and trendy no matter what your style might be. 

It fits a bit small, so just be sure to size up (and grab an extra one since your partner may steal this one from you).

Built for the hottest days spent outside, this reversible hat is lightweight, durable, and water repellent. The wide two-inch brim will protect your head and neck from the sun's rays, too (but never forget to wear sunscreen!).

Not only does the faux suede fabric on this make it great for travel, it also makes it super fun and trendy. It's a great way to get something unique if you're not necessarily wanting to experiment with bright colors or patterns just yet. 

It's no secret that fashion can be a powerful form of messaging, and this Cross Colours bucket hat featuring "Power To The People" embroidery is the ultimate example.

If snow isn't going to stop you from your love for bucket hats, this one's a must. Faux fur is already super trendy, but the neon color on this makes it even more fun (and cozy!).

With the rise of athleisure in fashion, Nike has become one of the trendiest labels out there. Combine their iconic logo with the bucket hat trend, some classic millennial pink, and tie-dye, and you've got a must-have.

Bonus: It features a cooling sweatband on the inside that makes this perfect for workouts and hot summer days, too.

Nope, denim isn't just a pant essential. This hat is actually made of 100 percent cotton, so it's totally breathable, and the frayed design adds a fun, low-key touch. 

If you've already gotten a tie-dye set of sweats, leggings, and sports bras, this is all you need to complete your look. While sometimes, the print can be hard to match with an outfit, the neutral color on this one makes it just as versatile as a plain white or black bucket hat.

Ok, so this isn't fully a bucket hat, but the Amazon bestselling Hairbrella deserves a spot on any hat list. The satin-lined, waterproof hat was specifically designed to protect hair from humidity and rain so the weather can never ruin your hairstyle again.

Head-to-toe leather is always a good idea, and now it's actually possible. The floppy design and low brim make it breathable, too.

Whether you want to show off your full hair style or are looking for the most breathable bucket hat out there, this sheer floral bucket hat is super cute. It's a great way to add a (literally) light flair to your outfit without weighting yourself down.

Yes, bucket hats are all about the '90s, but if you care to take it back to be even more of a retro look, this floral, brightly-hued bucket hat is totally groovy and made for your next beach bonfire.

The crochet, pastel design of this bucket hat may seem like something Daphne Bridgerton would wear to rendezvous in the park, but it'll look just as good with your ripped jeans, wedges, and a t-shirt at a boozy brunch. 

This one is also designed with subtle metallic strands embedded in the fabric for a shiny, glossy look. 

Yes, this one's a bit pricey. But if you're looking for something that'll be a stylish nighttime look 365 days a year, this is it. Between the studs and faux leather fabric, it'll glow up any outfit.

If you love a good floppy sunhat but resent the stiff feel of them (and how hard they can be to pack on vacation!), this floppy sunhat-bucket hat hybrid is the answer to your beach travel prayers. 

It features an extra wide brim that makes this like a traveling beach umbrella. Plus, the 100 percent cotton fabric makes it extra breathable.

If you're looking for a high-quality essential piece to last you through years of travel, workouts, and more, Sweaty Betty's high quality fabric won't fail you. It's available in a navy blue color if you prefer darker shades in your wardrobe, too.

If this doesn't scream "adorable", I don't know what does. Bound to get a rave reaction out of your Insta followers and BFFs alike, this hat will add personality to any outfit. Plus, it features a subtle size adjuster, so you can share it with your friends (fair warning: they'll be begging you to borrow this).
