Wimples can be worn either on their own or alternatively over a veil, scarf or cap. If the wimple was worn over a veil then the veil could be what is seen emerging from the front of the wimple as two long strips. The wimple could also have been worn over a shorter scarf or cap. The wimple is made from a piece of cloth that extends no further than just past the shoulders.<br>

Wimples are sometimes shown with emerging veils. <br>
Long trailing strips of cloth are depicted on some illustrations of Anglo-Saxon women. Similar strips can be also be seen on some images of men. There are many more drawings that I haven’t included here due to time restraints. <br>
“The foremost figure in a group of women addressed by Aldhelm in an illustrated version of his poems in Bodleian Library MS 577 (27645) fol. 1v, wears a scarf or veil under the hood. The two loose ends pass, together, from under the hood at the front, before separating and extending under the outstretched arms. “ (G. R. OWEN 1976, p.470 referring to T57:f1v)<br>
