I’ve been wearing these kinds of pillbox-style hats for the past year and a half, and I plan to wear this gorgeous Gigi Burris crushed velvet one to go and dine at Suvretta's Grand Restaurant.
These are an essential, with a really cool Bottega-esque feel and a good rubber grip sole which is perfect for the snowy, icy weather.
