bonnets

Old-fashioned sun hats

Bonnets is the plural of bonnet, a soft hat tied under the chin.

The term covers both old-fashioned women's headwear Easter bonnets and certain baby caps.

In British English, a car's bonnet is its hood—the hinged cover over the engine compartment.

To have a bee in one's bonnet is to be preoccupied with an idea or complaint.
