hats and head coverings


Explanation:
Your term covers a variety of items. "Hats" does not imply other types of head coverings and the term "head coverings" usually refers to things that are not hats (though it can include them incertaincases). So just to be sure, I'd use both terms. That will make it clearer to the reader that you are covering a large number of items under this category.
