Pill Box Hat

We can't talk about the 60s without mentioning the pill box hat. Jackie O. was rarely seen without one during her tenure as our nation's First Lady. Mod Cloth provides a fabulous no-sew tutorial so you can make your own. This is another opportunity to get creative with color and pattern — plaid, houndstooth, or a rich red hue are great choices.
