Pork pie hat

Okay kiddo, so you know what a hat is, right? Well a pork pie hat is a certain type of hat that is shaped like a little pie.

Imagine a little circular pie with a flat top instead of a pointy one. That's what a pork pie hat looks like on top.

It's usually made of felt or wool and it's called a "pork pie" because it looks like the traditional British meat pie of the same name.

People wear pork pie hats to look cool or fashionable, kind of like how you might wear a fun costume or dress up for a special occasion. It's not a hat that people wear every day, but it can be a fun and stylish accessory for a special event or a cool night out on the town.
