The "Ugly" Fashion Trend: The Bucket Hat
"I've been embracing 'ugly' fashion since I tried on a pair of Crocs for laughs about a year ago. Cut to 2020, and now I wear them incessantly around the house and sometimes out of the house. So does my husband and now I think they're sexy, especially when he wears them with shorts that hit mid-thigh and no socks. All we do for kicks now is go for scenic drives, and my go-to looks involve a combination of 'ugly' items, which I see as 'retirement chic.' One combination involves lime green mom jeans, lug sole sandals by Labucq, and a bucket hat. I style them around a puff-sleeve top and cute sunglasses for some modern, feminine touches." — Sissy Sainte-Marie Chacon
"The demand for the bucket hat returned, and we have seen them from the likes of Prada, Burberry, Acne Studios, and Ganni for the past year. For a casual feel, keep the rest of your outfit as minimal as possible and let your bucket hat do all the talking. A white tank top, oversized jeans, and trainers would be perfect." — Kirsty Stewart
