Coverings, as the majority of clothing pieces help us differentiate the sex of the person who is wearing it. The coverings for the men’s head and those for the women differ in shape they have, the material they are made from, colour, the way in which they are worn etc. The men’s coverings have, in most cases, the role of emphasizing the manliness, the power, while the women’s coverings often highlight the delicacy, beauty etc. In accordance with the type of covering, we can identify the age and the social status of the person who is wearing it. The Greeks, but also the Romanians, respect some certain rules concerning the way of dressing. In Greece (custom respected mostly in neo-Hellenic period), like in Moldova, the greatest difference between an unmarried and a married woman, between a young and an old woman, in many regions, is made through the way in which her hair is combed and the way her head is wrapped. The wrapping of the women’s head was marked by special events (wedding party, demise, going to church), these examples are also available for men’s head coverings.
