What is a "beret"?
A beret is a round, flat-crowned hat, usually made of wool or similar soft material, that is designed to be worn tilted to one side. It typically has no brim, but instead features a soft, flexible band around the head that can be adjusted for a comfortable fit. Berets have been popular throughout history, particularly in France, where they are often associated with artists and intellectuals. They are available in a wide range of colors and styles, from plain and simple to embellished with decorations like bows, buttons, or feathers.
