Multicolored Sequined Pillbox Hat with Striped Pattern

1970s · 1980s · African American

A structured brimless hat in cylindrical pillbox silhouette, completely covered in multicolored aluminum sequins arranged in vertical striped patterns. The sequins create an iridescent surface that shifts between emerald green, gold, purple, and black depending on light angle. The hat sits close to the head with a fitted crown approximately 3 inches tall. A long black silk ribbon or tie extends from one side, likely for securing the hat or as decorative element. The base appears to be synthetic silk faille providing structure beneath the sequined overlay. The dense sequin application follows disco era's preference for reflective, light-catching surfaces designed for dance floor environments.
