A Feminine Look

But you can also use a beret in a business outfit. A black beret with a suit jacket will be perfect for the office.
Bright Colors Or Subtle Shades
Opt for bright colors and studs to make the look eye-catching and sophisticated. Or you can wear it understated – choose a neutral color like black or grey, and you’ll see that your look is now complete! Wear the neutral colored beret with dark jeans or a black jacket to be stylish and trendy.
Textures and Seasons
There has to be a beret for every season. For spring, choose denim, or cashmere, for summer go for light crochet and lace. When fall comes, get a light knitted beret or choose cashmere, leather or felt. Winter berets can be made from fur, felt, wool or thick cashmere.
Hairstyles and Berets
It’s very important to know that wearing a beret can help you with your hairstyles. Whether you have diva locks or a bad hair day, the beret is great for you!
Also, don’t forget to choose a color that suits your hair. For example, blondes should wear green, blue, grey or pink berets.
Other Colors
Brunettes look great with darker colors like brown, forest green, burgundy, and plum. Black hair is perfect with purple, red, cream and navy blue. And redheads are amazing with deep greens, navy blues, and light pink.
