Today, the issue might be clothing that is too tight or revealing. It's the same thing. If a woman wears clothing that is too tight or revealing, she dishonors her "head" (her husband) just like those who were refusing to wear a veil in the first century church of Corinth. This is an ancient modesty standard.
That's my understanding.

1st Corinthians 11:15 But a woman, if she should have tresses of hair a glory to her is it; for the hair of the head instead of a wrap is given to her.
Literal translation of the text, couldn't be more clear.
Prax thank you for posting the information from https://bible.org/article/what-head-...apply-us-today
