Apostolnik
An apostolnik or epimandylion is an item of clerical clothing worn by Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic nuns. It is a cloth veil that covers the head, neck, and shoulders similar to a khimār form of hijab worn by Muslim women, usually black, but sometimes white. It is sometimes worn with a skufia.

Koukoulion
The koukoulion (Greek: κουκούλιον; Slavonic: ''kukol'') is a traditional headdress worn by monks and certain patriarchs in Eastern Christianity. History Related to the western cowl, it was the cap worn by Orthodox monks. It is shown worn by emperors Michael IV, who died as a monk, in the ''Madrid Skylitzes.'' Medieval orthodox monks did not have specific habits and uniforms related to the orders as in the West (for example the Benedictine habit or Franciscan habit), but each monastery set its own rules. The monks wore a simple cap, often made of coarse and modest fabrics, that was called koukoulion.

Biretta
The biretta () is a square cap with three or four peaks or horns, sometimes surmounted by a tuft.
