V1 Medieval female 'headscarf'. The type worn by the [[Disney]] versions of [[Queen Grimhilde]] and [[Maleficent]].

The wimple consists of a large piece of cloth draped across the top and sides of the head, neck and chin. This head-covering is usually worn to conceal the hair and other parts of the head for modesty purposes. Roman-Catholic [[nun|nuns and religious sisters]] still retain the wimple as part of their distinctive [[habit|headdress]].

h4. Tag usage notes
* Tag wimple when you see the 'headscarf' noted above.
** It should generally be worn to count; otherwise it's just a piece of cloth.
* Avoid tagging wimple if it does not adequately cover the top, sides and back of the head. Sidelocks should generally not be visible.
* Do not automatically tag wimple just because a [[nun]] is wearing her [[habit]].
** Most anime-style artwork do not depict the [[habit]] 'properly'. The overall headdress is often depicted as a hat-like headwear, with the 'wimple' becoming the 'inside brim' of such a hat. These examples do not count as wimples.
