Men (and some women, nowadays) usually wear a skullcap known as a kippah or yarmulke, which can be of varying size and any colour - they can even have the names of sports teams or rock bands. A yarmulke provides separation between the Divine and the everyday world, showing respect and reverance toward G-d in doing so. The Talmud tells us that when asked why he always covered his head, Rabbi Honah ben Joshua said "Because the Divine Presence is always over my head" (Kiddushin 31a) and states "Cover your head in order that the fear of Heaven may be upon you" (Shabbat 156b). Observant Jewish men will also commonly wear a hat; often a homberg, fedora or fur striemel as commonly worn by rabbis.
Observant Jewish women, once married, will also cover their heads in public due to the Jewish idea that a woman's hair is one of the chief physical attributes in making her attractive to men. So that she does not attract men other than her husband, she keeps her hair covered. Some very religious women shave their heads and wear a wig, which will then also be covered by either a hat or a headscarf; but this is increasingly rare in the modern world except among the Charedim (highly religious and orthodox Jews) and some elderly women.
