Are Berets a Returning Trend?

First of all, allow me to accept my ignorant and stereotypical idea that berets are exclusively part of a feminine trend. While doing my almost mandatory online black Friday shopping, I came across numerous male berets, which instantly increased my interest. Considering that berets are a head accessory piece and accentuates your face more than normal hats or other similar accessories, I was a very skeptical of the outcome.

My extreme lack of knowledge of such piece indicated that a beret s is a French piece, which designated for winter season and may come in very distinct fabrics. While doing a little research, I also learned that berets once represented authority, excellence, and power. They were first adopted by the French Chasseurs and after it’s slow commercialization, were associated with the working class of France and Spain. I don’t mean to bore you with these maybe not-so-fun facts, but it will be disgraceful not to mention the beret’s revolutionary affiliation with the legendary Che Guevara and the Chicano Revolution.

Back to fashion – I remember spotting berets in magazines and prestigious fashion shows, such as Channel’s cruise show in Cuba, but I never thought it was going to become so accessible and trendy. After showering myself with historical knowledge about this fashion piece, I was fully convinced to try them out. I figured that with the right combination I could maybe successfully rock it! Well, you be the judge : ) Let me know how what you guys think; will you give them a try?

Until next time,

  1. Berets are seriously the coolest piece ever! You nailed it 🙂

  2. Wow I sure hope so with the way you pull it off! It is so stylish – love it!

  3. I absolutely LOVE berets and I love this one on you even more so because I RARELY see guys wear them. Just like you said it’s very stereotypical that only girls wear them (at least here in North America) and it’s very rare that you find a guy who wears one and knows how to pull it off. You’re killing it and it actually looks so good on you. I hope you start wearing them more often!
