THE BERET IS BACK

Headwear is now the new way to change up an outfit and make a statement.Forget your chokers, forget your hoops. It’s the season for berets! I am not one to follow trends blindly but I am jumping on this band waggon. I love how you can wear this hat in so many different ways. From classy glamourous( how I attempted to wear it ) to street style casual to even 90’s activist’s look. I really thought I’d look ridiculous in one but once you figure out how to wear it to your liking by trying out different colours and fits, you will fall in love with how this simple piece will take you back to the past and elevate your outfit to another level!
The beret is no longer a symbol of high-class French society but as said by Harper’s Bazar “the beret is woke”.

“With all this in mind, it's no surprise that this formerly cheesy French favourite is back. The beret is woke. As we all know, it is fashionable now to be socially conscious, to campaign, to be outspoken and to be politically engaged. The woke generation are informed, questioning and passionate about change. The beret's history renders it the ultimate symbol of wokeness.”


I absolutely love this description of the new redefined beret! it's giving me black panther vibes. Not only that but it seems to be a symbol of artistic wokeness and empowerment which is something I stand for and hope to embody in everything I do including how I dress. Fashion is all about making a statement and telling people who you are before you speak this piece has the ability to do just that.
