It is interesting that all of the women's portraits of both
manuscripts (the few that were there) show this. Much more variation
in headgear in the men's portraits. Informal settings? Maybe to show
an "unconventional" lifestyle? Hippies of the 13th C?

Probably not - a troubadour is a composer, and the vida, or biography,
of Castelloza says she was married. But it was a fairly unconventional
thing for a woman to do, and who knows what later Venetians might have
thought she would have worn?
