NAVY BERRY LOOP PILLBOX
Shop the NAVY BERRY LOOP PILLBOXThe Navy Berry Loop Pillbox is a sculptural spring statement — a navy woven straw silhouette finished with a hand-tied straw bow and dotted with vintage berry blooms. Wear it slightly tilted, anchored with the right earring, and let the hat do the talking.
10 Ways to Wear It
- Pair the pillbox with oversized cat-eye sunglasses and a single silk scarf knotted at the neck for a polished garden-party uniform.
- Style with chunky gold hoop earrings and a structured navy blazer — let the hat and lapel echo in deep navy for instant cohesion.
- Wear a statement collar necklace tucked into a crisp white shirt and skip earrings entirely; the pillbox becomes the focal crown.
- Cinch a maxi dress with a wide leather belt and finish with delicate pearl studs so the berry blooms stay the hero.
- Layer a dainty gold chain with a charm pendant and pair with small diamond huggies for a low-key daytime look that still feels elevated.
- Pair with a crystal-embellished headband pushed back as a halo and small studs — two crowns, one zone, but the pillbox leads the silhouette.
- Throw a printed silk scarf over the shoulders as a shawl, add a bold cocktail ring, and keep earrings minimal and architectural.
- Style with a crystal statement bib necklace over a black turtleneck and swap to tiny studs; the pillbox + crystal bib reads ultra-luxe.
- Pair with a thin leather choker and shoulder-grazing gold earrings to elongate the neckline beneath the brim.
- Wear with a stack of mixed-metal bangles and no necklace — let the pillbox and wrist stacks balance proportion across the look.
Occasions
- Sunday stroll through a Chelsea gallery opening, white linen suit in tow.
- Mother's Day lunch at a botanical garden conservatory.
- Horse-race day at a countryside club — derby-ready but not costume.
- Rooftop cocktail hour on a warm spring evening in the West Village.
- Bridal shower luncheon as the guest of honor in soft pastels.
How to Style It With Your Hair
Hair DownWear hair in soft, side-swept waves tucked behind one ear so the pillbox sits clean against the head and the berry blooms remain visible.
PonytailPull into a low, sleek ponytail at the nape and place the pillbox slightly forward on the crown for a 1960s mod moment.
Half-UpTwist the front section into a soft roll, pin at the crown, and nestle the pillbox directly over the twist to anchor the shape.
BunTwist into a low chignon with face-framing tendrils and perch the pillbox two fingers above the brow for vintage millinery drama.

Styling Tips
- Place the pillbox slightly forward and angled — never dead-center, or it will read bridal rather than chic.
- Let vintage berry blooms be the visual anchor; pair with one statement accessory only, in a complementary or tonal family.
- Mind proportions: a sculptural pillbox needs a defined shoulder — tailored blazers, structured coats, or a clean neckline frame it best.
- Spot clean only and store flat in the custom cloth pouch to protect the woven straw bow and berry adornments from crushing.
