Women’s Hoods and Bonnets

Popular throughout the medieval period, hoods and bonnets were an indispensable part of a woman’s outfit and were worn by townswomen, senior servants and ladies in the home. Not only did they protect the wearer’s hair from dirt and weather during work, but they also signified a woman’s status. During this time, only unmarried women were allowed to wear their hair uncovered, and married women seen without them were often judged by society.

Throughout history, women’s headgear evolved to take on many forms. From simple veils worn over the head to draping wimples, which are still worn by many nuns today, and tied coifs/hoods.

    Bonnet Anna by Burgschneider

    Cotton

    Our Bonnet Anna is made of 100% cotton with a playful but authentic drape and ties at the back for customization. It’s the perfect addition to any medieval costume. The hood was an almost indispensable piece of clothing, it not only protected the wearer's hair from dirt and weather during work, but was also a sign of a woman's status. In the Middle Ages, only unmarried women were allowed to openly wear their hair uncovered. A married woman without headgear was considered a "loose woman." In general, hoods in many colors and shapes were an integral part of any costume.
