Bonnet refers to several types of headwear, worn by both males and females, and usually distinguished by being brimless. In contemporary usage, it is most freqently applied to the simple headcovering worn by infants, although in Britain it remains in general use also to describe several types of headwear of ethnic origins. Many bonnets are often referred to as caps, although caps are differentiated by their having a peak or narrow brim. In the vernacular, it is used in many areas of Britain to describe any form of headgear.
