What Type of People Wear Berets? Anyone Can

Berets are for people who enjoy a hat that adds shape to an outfit without covering it up. You might wear one with a coat and scarf for a polished look, or use it to make jeans and a sweater feel a little more put together. There is no particular age, profession, or personal style you need to have to wear a beret.

A beret can suit you if you like changing the feel of an outfit with one accessory. Wear it fairly level for a neat, traditional look, or shift it slightly to one side for a softer, more relaxed effect. If you are new to berets, try both positions in a mirror and choose the one that feels comfortable and stays in place as you move.

Some people reach for a beret as part of a cool-weather outfit, while others wear one primarily for its style. Our Women’s 100% Wool Beret – Classic Warmth for All Seasons is a wool option for anyone who likes that classic silhouette. Because wool and overall hat construction affect how a beret feels, consider the weather and the rest of your outfit when deciding when to wear it; our guide to styling a women’s wool beret by season offers more ideas.

Berets are not limited to one face shape or hairstyle, but their placement can change how they frame your face. If you wear your hair up, tuck it behind your ears, or leave it loose, give yourself a moment to adjust the hat so it sits comfortably rather than pressing down or slipping. Our team recommends handling a wool beret gently and following its care instructions to help maintain its shape.
