I love french berets, I have a black one. I would like to get a red one but I cant find it anywhere :/

 

[EskimoGirl]

yeah, i would also love to find a black or grey beret, but i have no clue where to look. maybe vintage stores? i'm very much a fan of the beret and short combo too.

i berets! didn't think too much of them when dad was making me wear them in elementary school during winter . but i got used to them and started to see the appeal more and more during high school and thereafter. i love this thread....thank you! already bought my daughter cotton/velour berets and she's only 5mths old

I've always loved berets. But for whatever reason, NOONE sells them, which is a pain. I saw a pretty brown one at an Albertsons!!..Yes..a grocery store..But it was snatched up pretty quickly.

Beret on a woman wearing a slightly glamourous outfit = great
Beret on a man = eeewwww (if you can pull it off, good for you but...)

^Does take some panache for a guy!

I don't think women need to be glamourous to wear a beret..... could wear them with basic jeans and t-shirt! I think they're the easiest hats to wear....I just love em... !

^^ I haven't really seen this look on a guy yet... I don't think. Has anybody seen it on the runways in the last seasons?

But, I found these pics in Cameron Russells thread!!! I'm not sure they're berets, but it looks awfully close... if they're not, what are they called? Newsboy caps? They remind me of berets by the angle, mostly the first one.

I saw someone in Stockholm wearing a beret in beige and a trench. I've been accepting berets since then, even liked them alot. I didn't like them that much before.

really? in munich every huge warehouse has staples of berets in every colour (for about 9 €)...
but that's not the only reason why i have quite a few

Even here you can find berets if you want...and this is not a fashion mecca. It's a classic, so it should be available quite easily.

 

[loubylou]

always wanted a beret, but always found an excuse...now i have the perfect excuse to buy one! question is, what colour? i was thinking play it sfae with black...but who wants to play it safe?

one of those adorable things i could never use in my muddy town.
