I have always loved the basque hat: it has a unique line and style.

Among women’s accessories, it’s definitely a great classic!

It has been a while since it has appeared during fall-winter fashion shows, but when I saw it on Dior’s runaway I had a heartbeat!

Here are some ideas to wear this adorable cap this fall:

FRENCH STYLE

The style of French women is so praised. How to copy it? To begin with, we can invest in a beret… Et voilà!

WITH STRIPES

And  speaking about French style, beret plus stripes is the magic formula!

Just find a striped sweater or recycle a summer navy t-shirt and use it with a jacket in these first autumn days …

FEMININE BERET

It was born as a male headgear and it still is a military garment.

Yet the women’s beret is the most feminine hat that we have …

BERET AND ANDROGINOUS STYLE

Having said that, however, it is also perfect for an androgynous look.

Besides, with the male style, it has home court!

RETRO STYLE

Probably, the charm of this headgear is due to its retro style.

As always, in the construction of the look, some references to the past are always spot-on.

BERET FOR WOMEN IN 1900s

And in fact, there is so much to draw from the past!

All the great icons of the twentieth century wore the basque, each with her own style.

And still today they are a source of inspiration …

FALL

You too can not wait the fall to arrive to wear one?

There’s no need to wait for the big cold – it’s fine with a leather jacket or a short jacket …

WINTER

It is a perfect accessory during the cold winter.

With a little colored coat or a long, more masculine one, it is always on point!

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BERET?

If you have an eccentric style or a special occasion, you can use one with glitter and applications.

Otherwise, the great classic in wool. The leather and velvet versions are also very interesting.

ROMANTIC

If you have long hair, let them go down to the sides of your face without pulling them too far back.

With slightly wavy hair it is very romantic: I find it really delicious.

HOW TO WEAR THE BERET?

You can wear it with your hair loose but also tied; long, but also short; with the bangs, but also without.

With a long, thin face, it’s best to drop it a few inches on the forehead.

With a soft face, it is ideal to pull it back and let the hair go down the temples.

Wore to one side is perfect for harmonizing an asymmetrical face or a big nose.

I don’t know about you, but I want one right now.

Maybe more than one! 😉
