A coif (/ˈkɔɪf/, pronounced '[i]kwaff[/i]') is a close fitting cap of [[medieval]] origins worn by both men and women that covers the top, back, and sides of the head. Sometimes had long, dangling fabric called [[lappet]]s.

Commonly seen as a standard attire of a [[nun]], along with the [[wimple]].
