Summer is unofficially here so it’s time to cop some new gear for the warm weather. While you are shopping for new clothes, don’t forget to add a bucket hat to your list. Not only are these lids a great alternative to the baseball cap, they can shield you from the sun’s UV rays as well. We scoured the Internet to find the best hats from brands like Motivation, Stussy, the Hundreds, DGK and others. So to help you get your ScHoolboy Q on this season, we compiled a list of 10 Bucket Hats that should make you the Man of the Year Summer.

Kangol hats have been synonymous with hip-hop fashion for over 30 years. While the headwear brand's classic Bermuda Casual may be to old-school for some people, we think the Retro Bucket Hat is the perfect fit for the summer season. This all-white polyester hat boasts a new embroidered logo with an oversized "K" and screen stripes across the front. The Retro bucket comes in three different colors white, charcoal (dark grey) and black. You can cop these and a slew of other stylish hats at kangolstore.com.
