witch hat

Crone's signature headwear

A witch hat is a tall, conical hat with a wide brim, typically black, associated with stereotypical depictions of witches in Western folklore and Halloween imagery.

The silhouette—pointed crown and floppy brim—has become iconic: She grabbed a witch hat from the costume bin.

The style appears on Halloween decorations, in children's books, and as shorthand for anything witchy or magical.
