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.
