Trendhumper: Fisherman Hats

We’ve always trusted the Gordon’s Fisherman for his choice of seafood, but it’s his taste in hats we’re most proud of. Who knew the bucket-style head gear worn by seamen would make such a splash in the world of fashion? The nautical look has been making its presence known since it first crossed over into hip-hop in the ’80s.
EPMD set things off by rocking their signature headgear on the cover to their sophomore album Unfinished Business, but now high-class brands like Gucci have given the bucket hat a luxurious makeover, as seen on Fabolous at this year’s Summer Jam (above). Are you brimming with confidence in this summer style? “Hump” or “Dump” the bucket hat trend after the jump.
