ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bashlyk

Okay kiddo, so a bashlyk is a type of hat that people wear in some parts of the world like Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan.

It's sort of like a hood or a kerchief that goes on your head to keep you warm. Bashlyk hats are usually made out of wool or other warm materials.

They have a fun shape, like a triangle with a pointy end that hangs over your back. The big part of the triangle covers your head and keeps your ears and neck warm.

Some people wear their bashlyk hats like a scarf too! So it's a pretty versatile accessory for staying cozy in cold weather.
