Headgear was a form of clothing worn on a person's head.

Hats and caps

A hat (or cap) was a device worn on an individual's head. Typically, a visor or brim extended from the front of the hat so as to protect a person's eyes and head from the elements. They could also be a part of casual wear or be worn with a religious background. Hats sometimes had a design on their front, such as words or an image.

Guinan wore a variety of unique hats. (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

Tom Paris wore a hat to cover the haircuts his father forced him to get every summer. (VOY: "Faces")

Types of hats

Cap with a brim in a style worn by baseball players, worn by Earth Starfleet crew in the 22nd century. Captain Jonathan Archer and other officers had such a cap with their ship's registry, NX-01, stitched on the front. (ENT: "Broken Bow") Archer and Trip Tucker wore these caps while crossing the desert terrain on the Torothan homeworld. (ENT: "Desert Crossing") Archer also wore his cap during his venture into Vulcan's Forge to help protect his eyes from the Vulcan sun. (ENT: "The Forge")
Starfleet officer hat
Uniform accessory worn by Starfleet officers, like Christopher Pike, in the 23rd century. (TOS: "The Cage")

The Bajoran Vedek's and Kai's wore special types of hats, mostly the female ones such as Winn Adami. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

Vedek Winn's hat was designed by Robert Blackman. He created it as an "interesting and curious shape that viewers haven't seen. It's about rhythm and other things." He also agreed that the style resembles the Sydney Opera House. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)

Helmets

Helmets were a device made of a material much harder than that of a hat. They were generally worn strictly for protective reasons, although they could also be worn for decoration.

The helmets included with Earth-Starfleet EV suits, according to Malcolm Reed, after wearing his suit for three days, felt as if it would have fused to his skull, leading him to threaten to "find the designer of this suit make him wear it for three days." (ENT: "United")
