Ah the humble bucket hat. It's been one of those pieces that has gone in and out of fashion for almost 60 years, and has become a far cry from it's original use, which was to protect farmers and fisherman from the elements. It may conjur up images of Kevin & Perry for some, or old Florida-based men playing shuffleboard in the sun for others, but one thing's for sure - it's back, and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon. Bucket hats weren't always used as a sartorial talking point. Way back in the very early 1900s, the bucket hat was created as a lightweight, easy to carry (and fold up into a pocket) form...

Making sure you're wearing waterproof everything no longer feels necessary and we can finally start to strip off some of the many, many layers we've been burying ourselves in. We'd be lying if we said we haven't been eagerly anticipating this season's trends - Spring/Summer collections always bring the return of colour, print and joy in dressing that the neutral, textured and functional Winter styles just don't have. Thankfully, the S/S21 trends are all about bright pastels, novelty prints and dramatic details - our favourite.
