Sun protection is always stylish, folks!

Combine the fact that Y2K trends are at their peak with the start of summer quickly approaching, and there's basically no better time to buy a bucket hat. The style comes in all sorts of colors, textures, and materials, so you can find one that suits you—and whatever summer vibe you're going for. If you're headed on a beach vacay soon, maybe opt for a tie-dye or woven style or if you're going out with some friends, a nylon one will look so cool with a leather jacket, cutoffs, and cowboy boots. Here, we rounded up a whopping 25 bucket hats that will look so cute on your noggin, all while blocking out those harmful rays. Functional and stylish! What more could you ask for?

A good bucket hat will also include UPF, "which indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin," according to The Skin Cancer Foundation. As a reference, a UPF 50+ fabric blocks 98 percent of the sun’s rays, ensuring that your exposure is extremely limited. Of course, you should always put on face sunscreen as part of your everyday skincare routine, but wearing a bucket hat (or really any sun-blocking hat) is another protective measure. Some styles are also reversible, have neck ties so they won't fly off, and come with other cool features like silk lining to protect your hair or have wider brims that you can wear down or flip up.

A good bucket hat will be breathable and lightweight, especially during summer when the temperatures can *really* get up there. If you're worried about overheating, but still want the extra sun protection that a brim provides, you can opt for a style that has mesh or some sort of ventilation towards the crown of the head so that air can flow in and out.

You'll also want adjustable options like toggles that can tighten it around your head for a tighter (or looser) fit, or around the neck so you won't have to worry about it flying off your head when the wind is a bit too strong. Some will have UPF, "which indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin," according to The Skin Cancer Foundation (e.g., a UPF 50+ fabric blocks 98 percent of the sun’s rays).

If you're looking for a bucket hat primarily to block out the sun, you might want one with a wider brim, and if you want to try the trend out purely for the ~aesthetics~ there are ones with shorter brims that you can still wear down or flip up depending on your preference.
