hats
Berets and bowlers
Hats are head coverings, the plural of hat.
Beyond literal headwear, hats represent roles or capacities: She wears many hats at work means she handles multiple responsibilities.
To take your hat off to someone is to express admiration.
Old hat means outdated or no longer novel: That technology is old hat now.
