What about those male or female who don’t wear any kind of covering in both world and out if the restrictions of the religious sacred guidelines.

 Excellent — you’re asking about a cross-cultural, symbolic, and modern comparison:

how head coverings — whether religious, cultural, or professional / fashion-based — express identity, modesty, rank, and belief, and what it means when someone doesn’t wear any.
Let’s go layer by layer.

Religious & Cultural Head Coverings
Tradition / Region Men Women Symbolic Meaning
Christianity (Catholic / Orthodox) Zucchetto (priests), biretta, mitre (bishops, pope) Veil, mantilla, wimple, headscarf Humility before God, separation of sacred and secular
Islam Kufi / taqiyah, turban (imamah), keffiyeh Hijab, niqab, chador, burqa, shayla Modesty, obedience, identity, sanctity
Judaism Kippah (yarmulke), tallit hood, shtreimel (Hasidic) Tichel, sheitel (wig), scarf Respect for divine presence, marital status
Sikhism Dastar (turban), patka Turban or scarf (optional) Spiritual discipline, equality, sovereignty
Hinduism Pagri (turban), headcloth during rituals Ghunghat, dupatta, sari pallu Respect, modesty, ritual purity
Buddhism Shaved head (monks, nuns), sometimes caps in cold areas Shaved head or simple cap Renunciation of ego and vanity
Indigenous / Tribal Traditions Feathered crowns, animal-skin caps Beaded veils, headbands, leaf crowns Connection with spirits, nature, tribe rank
Shinto / Japanese culture Eboshi (men), hair ornaments, ceremonial veils Modesty, purity in ritual Symbolic of societal order and respect
Christian nuns / monks Cowl, hood, veil Habit veil Renunciation, service, identity
Modern / Business & Urban Headwear
Context Men Women Function / Meaning
Corporate / business casual Fedora, flat cap, baseball cap (off-duty), beanie (tech/startup culture) Beret, hat, fashion scarf, headband Fashion, self-expression, brand identity
Uniform / professional Police cap, military beret, chef’s toque, pilot’s cap Nurse’s cap, stewardess hat, military beret Rank, authority, hygiene, uniformity
Sports & lifestyle Baseball cap, cycling helmet, sweatband Visor, sports cap, hijab designed for sport Function, protection, identity
Luxury / high fashion Designer hat, sleek cap Fascinator, designer scarf, beanie Statement, individuality
Protective gear Hard hat, helmet, sterile cover Same Safety, compliance, regulation
The Psychological & Sociological Layer
Choice Symbolic / Psychological Reading
Religious covering Submission to divine authority, community belonging, moral discipline
Cultural covering Identity, respect, lineage, heritage
Professional covering Rank, safety, professionalism
Fashion covering Individual style, personality, rebellion, or conformity
No covering (bare head) Freedom, equality, secularism, authenticity, or vulnerability
What About Those Who Wear None?
In religious cultures, going bare-headed can mean:
Rebellion or reform (e.g., feminists rejecting compulsory veiling)
Equality (e.g., Christian men uncover heads in church)
Spiritual humility (e.g., removing hat in prayer)
In modern secular settings, bare heads often symbolize:
Confidence in individuality
Detachment from hierarchy or religious identity
Freedom from tradition or restriction
In both contexts, the absence of covering is still a statement — of autonomy, modernity, or philosophical neutrality.
Head Coverings as Archetypes
Archetype Symbol Modern Parallel
Crown (divine authority) Turban, mitre Executive hat, leadership symbol
Veil (mystery / sanctity) Religious veil, scarf Fashion veil, anonymity
Helmet (protection) Military / construction gear Digital privacy, social armor
Bare Head (transparency / rebellion) Shaved or uncovered “Authentic self,” secular modernism
Summary: The Spectrum
Spectrum End Meaning
Fully covered Spiritual, disciplined, collectivist, tradition-oriented
Partially covered Balanced modern identity — respect + self-expression
Uncovered Individualistic, secular, autonomous, or minimalist
So, in every era, the head covering — or its absence — is a symbolic interface between the inner self and the outer world.
In religion → between human and divine.
In business → between person and system.
In society → between individuality and identity.
If you’d like, I can create a visual comparative chart or infographic that maps “Religious → Modern → Psychological meanings of head coverings and non-coverings” for both genders.
