Oasis Are Back — And So Is Britpop Style (Yes, Even Bucket Hats)

They were the soundtrack to my youth. Oasis songs and lyrics can map out most of the major moments in my life — with She’s Electric even making it into my wedding video. (Yes, really.) So when news broke that the band is heading back on tour this July, it wasn’t just music fans who sat up and listened — fashion took notice too.

Because the Britpop revival is officially on. And whether you’re dusting off your vinyl or digging out your parka, there’s one unexpected star of the style comeback: the bucket hat.

The Britpop Revival Is Real

What started as a nostalgic buzz is now a full-blown cultural moment. From Glastonbury lineups to Gen Z TikToks featuring Blur, Suede and Pulp, Britpop is back in fashion — musically and stylistically.

But it’s not just about listening to Don’t Look Back in Anger on repeat. It’s about reclaiming the mood of the ‘90s: the swagger, the denim, the anti-polished edge that felt both rebellious and deeply cool.

Why Bucket Hats Are Having a Moment

Love them or hate them, the bucket hat has returned from the depths of your college festival days and landed firmly in the fashion spotlight. The difference now? Designers are reinventing them with a modern twist — think lux textures, embroidery, and bold logos.

Brands like Kangol, Fred Perry, and even Burberry are embracing the silhouette again, while high-street favourites from Urban Outfitters to ASOS have made them festival essentials this summer.

How to Wear the Britpop Revival in 2025

Bucket hats: Embrace the classic shape or try a structured version in leather or crochet for a summer-friendly update.
Track jackets & parkas: Layer over slip dresses or wide-leg trousers for that perfect boy-girl blend.
Graphic tees with attitude: Band logos are back, and the more worn-in, the better.
Vintage denim: Baggy, boxy, and full of ’90s nonchalance.

It’s More Than Fashion — It’s Feeling

This revival isn’t just about retro aesthetics. It’s about tapping into that unapologetic confidence that Britpop embodied — the kind that made you sing lyrics out loud, wear what you wanted, and believe you were cooler than you probably were (and honestly, maybe you were).

And if that means giving a bucket hat another go? Then so be it. After all, in the words of the Gallagher brothers — you’ve gotta roll with it.
