HIGH TIDE MAYA BUCKET HAT

Shop the HIGH TIDE MAYA BUCKET HAT

The High Tide Maya Bucket Hat is a sage open-weave bucket hat hand-embellished with turquoise navette crystals and finished with Lele's signature drawstring sweatband and logo charm. Packable, adjustable, and unmistakably coastal-luxe, it's the crystal-embellished answer to a classic sun hat — wear it from beach to brunch with the same ease.

10 Ways to Wear It

  1. Pair the crystal bucket hat with oversized square tortoiseshell sunglasses and a chunky gold link necklace over a striped Breton tee for an effortless Hamptons-meets-Saint-Tropez look.
  2. Layer the hat with delicate layered gold chains, keep earrings to small turquoise studs, and finish with a silk twilly scarf tied at the handle of a raffia tote for a polished coastal ensemble.
  3. Style with statement gold hoop earrings, a wide woven belt cinching a flowy linen midi dress, and stacked gold bangles — letting the hat do the crown work while jewelry grounds the silhouette.
  4. Wear the bucket hat with a sculptural rose-gold cuff, a dainty turquoise pendant, and small pearl studs to echo the crystals in the hat without competing with them.
  5. Pair with dramatic chandelier earrings peeking from beneath the brim, a silk scarf tied around the neck in a French knot, and a sleek all-white column dress for a yacht-club dinner look.
  6. Style over sleek blown-out hair with cat-eye white-framed sunglasses, a single statement collar necklace, and a crystal cocktail ring for a modern city-stroll moment.
  7. Combine with a printed silk scarf (Lele's rosette or foulard) knotted at the neck, dainty huggie earrings, and an enamel bangle for a refined poolside-to-patio transition.
  8. Layer the hat with mixed-metal stacked necklaces, small diamond studs, and a chunky statement ring on a caftan dress for elevated resort wear.
  9. Pair with a silk headscarf worn bandana-style under the brim in a complementary sage or blush tone, oversized gold disc earrings, and an undone French braid for a '90s cover-girl remix.
  10. Style with vintage-inspired cat-eye sunglasses, a single long lariat necklace layered over a crisp white poplin blouse, and a classic gold tank watch for understated Riviera polish.

Occasions

  • Saturday morning farmer's market run followed by a coastal lunch
  • Gallery opening in Sag Harbor or a summer art walk
  • Sunday brunch with the girls at a coastal-inspired restaurant
  • Resort vacation dinner — poolside, beach club, or marina-front
  • Outdoor concert or daytime music festival in warm weather

How to Style It With Your Hair

Hair DownWear hair in loose, beachy waves tucked behind the ears so the hat sits cleanly on the crown and the crystals catch the light against natural texture.

PonytailPull hair into a low, soft ponytail with a center part and a few face-framing tendrils; the clean nape keeps the bucket silhouette crisp and modern.

Half-UpStyle a half-up twist secured with a Lele crystal claw clip, leaving the bottom lengths soft so the hat frames the polished top without flattening volume.

BunTwist hair into a low, slightly undone ballerina bun at the nape — the open-weave crown shows the bun subtly and keeps the look refined under the brim.

Styling Tips

  • Adjust the drawstring sweatband for a custom, secure fit — it keeps the embellished crown sitting perfectly even on windy coastal days.
  • Pair crystals with crystals thoughtfully: let the hat be the hero, then echo it in small studs or a thin navette ring rather than another large statement piece up top.
  • Balance the soft, open-weave texture with structured or polished pieces (a crisp poplin shirt, a leather slide, a sleek basket) to keep the look intentional rather than overly casual.
  • Spot clean only to preserve the hand-set navette crystals and the printed luxe crown sweatband — never submerge or machine wash.
  • Pack it flat in a suitcase; the open weave springs back into shape on arrival, making it the ultimate travel-ready statement hat.
