There are 2 versions of the appearance of the beret. First: it was invented by the ancient Greeks. Second: he came to us from Scotland. While historians are engaged in fierce debate on this issue, fashionistas are hastily purchasing these red-colored headdresses, because this season they are again in trend.
What can you combine a red beret with?
Gone are the days when all accessories had to be made in one color scheme. Today, freedom is provided in this regard. No one will stop you from creating a monochromatic look, but you shouldn’t refrain from variety either.
Important! Wear a scarf, glasses, belt, and suspenders with a beret. Massive earrings will look good with openwork crocheted models, but in other cases you should give preference to small, inconspicuous jewelry.
Outerwear
A light brown shortened sheepskin coat, a biker jacket, a cream puffy coat-dress, a classic woolen coat (green, black, brown, light gray, mustard) are suitable. Polo-type models and trapezoidal silhouettes look very interesting. An example of an unsuccessful combination: a fur coat. It has always been difficult to choose a beret to go with it, but this season such an ensemble is generally among the anti-trends.
Prints
Ideal solution: clothes with a floral pattern, which contains red or a shade close to it. The following options are definitely worth trying:
- check (tartan, English, Glencheck, Vichy, Esterhazy);
- horizontal stripe (black-white, blue-white, white-red, red-white-blue);
- Missoni zigzag;
- arabesque (red-beige, black-beige and black-white).
Important! Rumors about the Scottish roots of the beret have a serious basis. Just wear a kilt with this headdress and the legend of ancient Greek origin will seem funny.
Sweatshirts
Wear a plain turtleneck, a knitted sweater, a white feminine shirt, and a blouse made of light fabrics. You can resort to a vest, a plain T-shirt with long sleeves, or a denim shirt. Colors: white, black, beige, brown, mustard, emerald, gray, dark blue. Collar: preferably high, close to the face. Or, on the contrary, something round.
Shoes
Take a closer look at brown and wine high boots. Neat black ankle boots with fur trim will also come in handy. White and gray suede models will also “pop”, just like the roughest lace-up boots (Martins or Converse). As for shoes, the Mary Jane model is definitely suitable.
Dresses
Buy a plain knitted wrap dress or an A-line cropped model.A shirt dress and a turtleneck dress will definitely look good. The first can be as masculine or strictly cut as possible, the second can be a rich, bright color (yellow, blue). Well, create an evening look with a tight dress in the style of the 20s of the 20th century. A crocheted beret will look wonderful with it.
Combination rules
Sweatshirts with a high neck look good, as well as blouses and shirts without a neckline and buttoned up with all the buttons. For example, turtlenecks. You can go a different route and take a jacket with a round neckline.
Important! Feel free to drape your neckline with stoles and long scarves. When tying them, don’t overdo it. Carelessness and simplicity are welcome: throw one end over your back or tie the accessory in a knot (fold in half, pass both ends through a loop and tighten).
Glubokoe A neckline is also permissible, but you should start from the specific style of the beret. A large felt or knitted one most likely will not work, but a neat, small and richly decorated one may “shoot.” At the same time, the big beret is different from the big beret.
A loose knit or crochet allows you to wear a biker jacket, a loose long T-shirt and fitted trousers. With such a headdress you can safely create hipster looks. However felt voluminous model, which does not hold its shape well, requires a completely different top. To choose from: wrap-around long coat, polo coat, trapezoidal cut coat.
Fitted clothing with a classic cut looks great with a neat, flirty beret that holds its shape well. For example, a suit with a skirt. You should try wearing the jacket with a straight knee-length dress (a little higher or a little lower).
Examples of successful images
- Checkered gray trousers, a light-colored turtleneck, brown or black leather boots and a beret (on the side or with a visor) - a Bohemian look that reflects the culture that originated in the back streets of Paris in the 40s of the 20th century. You can beat him with a scarf, one end of which is thrown behind your back.
- Checkered pants can be easily replaced with bell-bottoms. In this case, the shoes are changed to something with a high heel or a heel and a platform, the scarf is removed, and instead the accent becomes a thin strap. Well, skinny lovers should replace the turtleneck with a very loose sweater. Let there be ankle boots of the same color as the trousers on your feet, and a biker jacket on your shoulders.
- If you want to look feminine, take an a-line mini dress. Match it with a neat little beret.
Important! Do not wear small berets straight, but slightly slant them to one side or back.
What style does the red beret fit into?
Harmony can be achieved by addressing the following areas:
- 60s fashion (note the hipsters and beatniks of those years);
- romantic style;
- smart casual;
- new look;
- military;
- French chic.
At first glance, it may seem that red will look ridiculous against the background of khaki-colored wardrobe items, but in fact, military is not limited to such outfits. The bet is not only on thematic colors, but also on a special cut.. For example, the trend is characterized by mustard-colored dresses. And with them the red headdress will definitely “shoot”.
