French Styled Beret Hats

Vogue - Featuring A French Styled Beret

I once landed a job, and later came to know by my boss is was because she thought the beret I wore to the interview was so chic. Almost everyone associates the beret hat with French style. In fact, the history shows that the beret can be traced back to the people living on both the French and Spanish sides of the Pyrenees Mountains. The beret hat was also banned during the Nazi occupation of France during World War II because it was associated with French nationalism. The modern beret is often associated with the military. The USA Green Berets, Black Berets, UN Blue Berets all wear berets, and who could forget revolutionary leader Che Guevara, who made the beret a worldwide symbol? The original beret was either navy blue or red, but today the beret is available in a wide array of colors, and fabrics. Monica Lewinsky made headlines when her connection with President Clinton became public, the media decided to promote the picture of her wearing a beret hugging the president. Beret hats have always been fashionable through the years, and they can be worn a variety of different ways. Military wear always seems to remain in style as the years pass. Many women turn to beret hats in the winter to cover their ears, as well as being recognized as being uniquely fashionable.
