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.
