Saved from Ear Muff Hell with Berets
, New York, NY
Oh boy, do you remember the days of ear muffs? I had the most hideous fluffy pair of mauve-pink ear muffs in grade school. They looked awful, so unnatural. I liked them because I thought I was saving myself from hat-hair. But nothing could save me from the dreaded ear muffs. To this day I’m not certain if I’ve destroyed all photographic evidence of this look. I’m proud to say that I’m no longer afraid of hats, though. In fact, I have a favorite kind: a beret!
You can personalize a beret any way that you’d like, but please do yourself a favor in buying at least one. Warning: after you see some samples of what’s available you might want to have six. You don’t have to be French to wear a beret.Even when you stick to a basic beret in one color, you have options that include: rhinestones, stylized knitting, or flower appliqués.
Basic rule of thumb for hats? Go for a color that will pop against your hair color. If your hair is blonde, a white beret won’t work that well on you. Are you a red-haired beauty? No red berets for you. I think you can figure the rest out pretty easily.

But where can you buy berets these days? A plain black beret.

The middle black option is from bloomingdale’s. Kohls probably has some basic ones, too.

Linda – there is this cable-knit beret that is plain in some very basic colors. Another place to check is The Gap.
