pillbox hats

Flat-topped feminine headwear

A pillbox hat is a small, brimless hat with a flat crown and straight sides, shaped like the round containers once used to hold pills.

Jackie Kennedy made them iconic in the early 1960s.

The style appears occasionally in formal or vintage fashion: She wore a pillbox hat with a netted veil to the funeral.
