pillbox hat
Flat cylindrical cap
A pillbox hat is a small, round, brimless hat with a flat crown and straight sides, typically worn perched on top of the head.
The style became iconic in the early 1960s when Jacqueline Kennedy wore one to her husband's presidential inauguration: She completed the outfit with a matching pillbox hat.
