Worn straight or at an angle, the pillbox hat sometimes featured a net in the front, cover- ing the eyes and, at times, the entire face. The pillbox hat, created in the ‘40s, became more ornate as time progressed. By the late ‘40s/early ‘50s, the hat was found at many price ranges, and in many styles. This hat was the most rec- ognized and sought after hat for women during those decades. Because of the rich brown, this hat gives plenty of room for variety, to be paired with many options this winter. Pair your brown pillbox hat with a neutral coat, or your favorite vintage dress this season.
