The Best Hats for Music Festivals and Events

Celebrate different music genres, stay protected, and dress your best with an expressive hat.

Music festivals and events make the perfect venue to showcase your unique style. So much of music is rooted in expression. Whether swaying to jazz or toe-tapping to country, why not dress to impress? Hats are a great way to accessorize while adding fun and flair to your music-filled memories. Here are some styling ideas.

Hip-Hop

Like most fashion, hat design is often inspired by music and culture; the bucket hat, for example, has become synonymous with street culture and hip-hop. Iconic artists like LL Cool J and Missy Elliot famously dawned the bucket hat in the 1980s. Today, you’ll usually see bucket hats being worn with bold graphic tees and distressed denim. Try options like Kangol’s Bermuda Bucket Casual, which grabs attention with eye-catching textures in loads of great colours.

Country

You’ll never be out of place taking your favourite cowboy hat to a country concert, although it also works for Beyonce! Pair with a crisp button-up and jeans. Make a statement with Brier Enterprises Barmah Foldaway Bronco. Crafted from a premium full-grain cattle hide leather with vintage oil/wax finish and matching hatband, this hat is timeless and easily foldable. Bonus—it’s also waterproof, an important consideration for outdoor festivals! 

Outdoor Concerts

We recommend a stylish beanie for outdoor concerts or when the weather is chilly, which looks great with a layered-up outfit topped by a comfy denim jacket. One we love is the Heist Beanie by Brixton. With its comfy style and range of colours, it’s a great add-on that’s comfortable and practical.

Pop

Need to look great for a concert? Along with streamlined jewelry and a sparkly belt, a cute cap like the Hooligan Snapback is a perfect accessory. Pair it with a skinny shirt and tee for an iconic aesthetic that’s sure to set you apart.

Jazz/Blues

For jazz and blues music, it’s hard to go wrong with the classic silhouette of the fedora. Try the unsex Magill Kelowna and opt for a streamlined, elegant look with items like Pencil skirts, trousers, and jackets that reflect the clean sound that made these genres famous.

Rock

If you find yourself at a rock concert, the snapback is the fashionable go-to, although this classic style works for many genres. An accessory like the Oath III Snapback casually elevates your look. Pair with distressed jeans, a graphic tee, and sneakers for a statement that’s casual yet put together.
