Látecky

Látecky is a Czech term that translates to "small hats" or "caps" in English. It typically refers to a type of traditional headwear, often associated with children or as a casual, informal accessory. These hats are usually made from soft materials like cotton or wool and are designed for warmth or protection from the sun. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any small, brimless cap. In some contexts, "látecky" might refer to decorative or novelty hats, particularly those worn during festive occasions or as part of costumes. Their design can vary, but they are generally characterized by their simplicity and close-fitting nature. The word itself is a diminutive form of "látka," meaning "cloth" or "fabric," underscoring the material composition of these head coverings.
