Good news for fans of French fashions; the beret is the hat du jour.
Out of popular favour for a while thanks to painful memories of an awkward teenage flirtation with Kangol’s 90s logo flat caps (in which we always picture Ross from Friends when he’s trying to be fashionable); the beret is now back with a vengeance.
Gucci leads the way with statement berets in every fabric, from leather to hemp, while the high street is awash with pretty and wearable knitted versions, from simple plain black winter warmers to embellished caps perfect for parties.
We’ve scoured the high street and beyond to find six of the best berets out there, whether your budget is petit or très grand.
