Headwear through the decades
1980s – The Eighties, a somewhat controversial year for fashion, but hey, there are some real gems among the shoulder pads and leg warmers if you rummage hard enough – the veiled pillbox hat being one of them. Inspired by styles from previous decades, this hat is prim and proper, placing itself perfectly on the side of the head. Net veiling embellishments that fall over the forehead and eye set the Eighties pillbox aside from the Sixties version, making this hat hugely popular for the power dresser.

There really isn’t much definement in anything in the Noughties.
