Can you wear a circlet and helmet?

Yes, you can wear a circlet and a helmet at the same time in Skyrim, with custom enchantments on both, and the Falmer Helmet is a specific example that can be combined with a circlet. This combination enables players to further buff alchemy for creating silly-strong equipment in the alchemy+enchanting+smithing loop.

Introduction to Circlets and Helmets

Circlets are a type of headgear in Skyrim that offer base armor value and can be crafted at the forge, but they cannot be improved further via smithing. Helmets, on the other hand, provide more protection but limit the player’s ability to wear other headgear like circlets or masks. However, certain helmets like the Falmer Helmet can be worn with a circlet, allowing for additional enchanting slots.
