14th Century Women's Headwear: A Fascinating Selection of Headresses and Hats Worn by English Ladies The 14th century was an era of grandeur and elegance, and nowhere was this more evident than in the fashionable headwear of English ladies. This collection of images, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a diverse range of headwear styles that were popular during this time. The first image features a woman wearing a barbette, a tall, conical headdress adorned with a veil that falls over the shoulders. The barbette was a common choice for formal occasions and was often worn with a fillet, a narrow band that encircled the head and held the headdress in place. Another intriguing headpiece is the crespine, a circular, wreath-like headdress that was often decorated with precious stones, pearls, and other embellishments. The crespine was typically worn with a veil that hung down the back, and it was a popular choice for both day and evening wear. The frette, a simple, flat, and wide headband, was another popular accessory for 14th-century English ladies. It was often worn with a veil or a simple cap, and it could be adorned with pearls, beads, or other decorative elements. The templers, a pair of small, pointed caps, were worn over the hair and secured with a fillet or a ribbon. They were a practical choice for everyday wear and could be worn with a veil or without. The final image in this selection showcases a woman wearing a veil that covers her entire head and face, leaving only her eyes visible. This type of veil was often worn by religious women or by ladies of high rank as a sign of modesty and piety. These stunning examples of 14th-century headwear offer a glimpse into the fashionable world of English ladies during this era. From the grandeur of the barbette to the simplicity of the frette, these headpieces showcase the elegance and sophistication of the time.
