BUCKET hats are a staple of UK festival culture. 

So, it was not a surprise to see a whole host of them at Reading Festival this weekend. 

I decided to snap a few of the best ones:

Number one - corn hat

Animated food? You cannot go wrong with this one. Fun, summery, and healthy!

Number two - Barbie

I had only just managed to get the Barbie movie soundtrack out of my head before seeing this bucket hat. 

Don't mind me while I start singing 'I'm just Ken' for the rest of the weekend - great hat!

Number three - Cookie Monster

Nothing like a great reminder that you need to grab a snack in the middle of the festival!

Love the bright colour and again - cannot go wrong with some food on a hat.

Number four - Smilies 

Yes! Simple and sweet - we love a good smiley face.

Number five - Frog

I saw this one around a lot and I am obsessed. I love the cute eyes popping out of the top and green is my favourite colour.

Number six - Welsh hat

As a Welsh girl, I had to include this hat. I am gutted I don't have one myself. Where did you get it? Do I need to go back to Cardiff to find one?!

Number seven - Wotsits?

Look, I don't even know what this one is. Sausages? Wotsits? Either way, a  bucket hat that makes you do a second look is a good bucket hat.

Number eight - Ducks with shades

Amazing. This is on par with the frog bucket hat. No one can look at this hat and not smile.

Number nine - Pineapples

Again, food on a hat? Cannot go wrong. I love this one, lots of summery vibes.

Number 10 - Cow print

I feel I should disclose that this is my close friend so I can't really say anything bad about this bucket hat...even if I wanted to!

Animal print is BACK IN!

Number 11 - Rude words

I saw a lot of bucket hats with some 'choice words' on them. Very brazen, why not!

And they were some of my favourite bucket hats spotted this weekend! Which one is your favourite?
