The beret, like the pinafore is yet another thing that reminds me of junior secondary school. Also of churches and uniformed personnel.
Isn’t it amazing how things formerly deemed uncool come back and then take centre stage? That’s one of the reasons why I just love fashion!
Fashion is one proof to never write anything off because you never know just when that thing might be the next cool thing.
Today’s style inspiration post is all about the beret trend that made a come back last year and which though I’m totally digging, I still nurse some slight reservations about. All reservations just flew out the window when I laid eyes on Bubu’s picture below.
As always, I have collated some style ideas to help you make up your mind on how you feel about the beret.

I need to get one because I have to cover my hair when I play Sax at church and I suck at tying scarves.
The picture's with the girl in the red beret and the girl in the wine beret are my favourite.

Yess, it will work for church too. That's even another thing beret reminds me of – choir in my church back then. Lol
I've loved the beret since forever. Can't wait to get myself 3- black,yellow and red.
You know this! Black, mustard and red for me too.
I think the beret is a cool fashion accessory but not my style. I hate wearing stuff on my head for too long.

I totally love the beret look, I have this blogger friend Nastia of Mannequin Parade that wears berets a lot, I guess I got used to seeing her in them then I came across more looks online recently and I'm ready to try one myself! ❤️ Can't wait to try the look now, I never liked them in high school.

Berets are French-Girl cool. Not sure I want to wear one though. I would worry about hat hair.

I have a black beret with sparkles. I dump it on my head one time too many. It is my 911 for early morning rush. If that beret could talk…

Lool! I can just imagine!
I love berets! I used to have them in almost every colour (including yellow) but I lost interest. After seeing Grace's beret look (Grace Alex), I've been meaning to get back into it.
I feel berets go better with longer hair, yes?

Grace killed the look too!
Longer hair? As in shoulder length long or long long?
I think it will work regardless, depends on how you style it.
Definitely shoulder length. Then do a tutorial on styling berets please because I only know one way.
Grace killed it!
Cassie, I have my reservation though. I have natural hair and I just feel I'd look like a deeper life member…ish! Lol!

Hi June,
Your comment really cracked me up. It reminds me of people's comments whenever I thread my hair.
Funny how public perception sometimes influences the decisions that we make regarding our personal style. 🙂
Hi Cassie,
I think the beret looks really stylish especially when it's positioned at a jaunty angle. I'll admit that it takes a certain level of confidence to pull it off though.
Lol @ "choir in church".
Have a nice weekend. 🙂
It has a French feel to it, love the looks. I need a little more conviction, but I can't be convinced to wear green reminds me too much of Choir and secondary schools.

I love hats as much as the next person but with the beret, I have some reservations. I had worn the beret in the choir growing up and knnowing I have a pretty humongous head and short hair, there's hardly any angle that will make it look "nice"… Except I get a wig sha or braids. Mm. Idea.

I'll never be able to pull this look off. *sigh*
