The Ultimate Guide to Wearing a Beret

The beret, an iconic parisian accessory - this versatile hat has been around since the 1800’s. It wasn’t until the 20th century, when Coco Chanel and then many other muses wore one, that this humble piece of headwear was propelled into the fashion world and runway shows.

Bad hair day, no problem. Reach for the beret and it will instantly make you look more refined. Feeling the chill? Berets are also great for keeping your head warm in the colder months. A wardrobe staple you can call on if you want to elevate your look. It is a great accessory to wear with transitional outfits throughout the year.
