Wearing designer and keeping it casual doesn't typically go hand-in-hand but Chanel's terrycloth bucket hat hopes to change that, with an incredibly laidback high-fashion look that can be sported throughout the winter or summer months.
This hat is one of the pieces that was supposed to be showcased at Chanel's 2020 Cruise fashion show. Due to COVID-19, the fashion show took place virtually, and this hat along with many other sunny, beach-inspired items were introduced on the market. As per the theme of the show, this hat boasts poolside sensibilities, with a terrycloth facade and crisp white finish. The hat features a tiny double C logo, making for a more subtle branding moment than typical.
