What to wear with a black beret

With the onset of the cold season, models wearing hats appeared on the catwalks. Among the cowl scarves, hoods and knitted hats, there is an abundance of berets of all colors and sizes. The fashion for them is a truly popular phenomenon: any hat will envy the style diversity.

Color: raven and dark chocolate

Black is a universal color, which can be combined with any other, especially bright one. There are many shades: from warm chocolate-black and discreet marengo to shiny blue-black and anthracite.

When selecting a future kit It’s worth figuring out what exactly you plan to wear the beret with. It is better to try it on in bright light, simulating daylight, in order to know how the item will look on the street.

The range of textures and materials is also huge:

• knitting: large and small, hand and machine, dense and openwork;
• rib: rep, corduroy, diagonal;
• thin or thick denim;
• velvet, velor;
• knitted fabric;
• leather and suede;
• natural and artificial fur;
• felt, tweed, cashmere.

You can find a model with a pompom, lace inserts, fringe or satin trim, a youth option with a rich print or a festive one with rhinestones.

What to look for when choosing?

Of course, the main criterion is whether the person who will wear it likes the item.

But to make fitting faster and more enjoyable, it’s worth getting acquainted with the principles of selecting a beret depending on your face shape:

1. For those with narrow cheekbones and a high forehead, it is better to wear a classic beret, moving it slightly towards the forehead - the horizontal edge will visually expand the upper part of the face.
2. If your face is round, you should choose a medium-sized model, moving it towards the back of your head to open your forehead.
3. For those with a wide forehead and narrow chin, it is recommended to move the beret to the side - this balances the features.
4. If your facial features are delicate, it is better to choose a smooth fabric.
5. For large features, a knitted fabric with a pronounced relief is suitable.
6. The richest choice is for ladies with oval faces and antique proportions: almost everything suits them.

What to wear with a beret?

Once upon a time, the beret served to complete a feminine image. It was worn with a skirt and jumper, with a business jacket.

But fashion is becoming more and more democratic, opening up space for imagination. Let's look at the different styles.

Classic

The beret will suit a classic look: a skirt just below the knee, a blouse and pumps. It looks good with a long knitted cardigan.

A black headdress presupposes the presence of at least one other black dominant element in the costume - for example, a handbag.

A good option for a lover of graphic silhouettes - a loose jacket to match the beret and a white blouse underneath. Laconic large jewelry looks good on girls with this combination.

Important! The beret looks great with a classic knee-length trench coat and ankle boots or high boots. But if a miniskirt is worn under a raincoat, it can only be worn unbuttoned!

Casual

Everyday style means non-staining colors, comfort and a variety of styles. A black beret will complement jeans, loose trousers with moccasins and will highlight the collar of the sweater.

The sweater can be contrasting or in harmony with the beret - in the latter case, a good solution would be a bright brooch or scarf that stands out against the black material (“artist’s beret” - almost an independent style!).

For clothes in calm colors It is better to choose a model without glitter and ornament, the expressiveness of which is manifested in the form.

Street-casual - find for a creative person: Almost everything is allowed. For example, a “little black dress” with red tights and a huge corduroy beret - black with a burgundy tint (the so-called oxblood color). High heels won't fit into this look, but sneakers will come to the rescue, which are in the wardrobe of any fan of stylish comfort.

Retro

In the 50s of the 20th century, small berets were worn. The dresses were colorful, with large patterns, fitted and visually widened the hips with a fluffy midi skirt. The neat heel added elegance to the look.

Now the retro silhouette is popular again. Instead of pumps, for convenience, you can wear ballet flats, and emphasize your waist with a wide black belt - it will echo the headdress.

Evening dress

Miniature pill beret with a veil was at the peak of popularity at the beginning of the last century, but even now, appearing in one at an event can make a splash.

It goes with a long, tight dress and black gloves. from matter similar in structure. High heels required and expressive eyes - for example, smoky eyes makeup under a dark veil looks mesmerizing.

However, we are all free to choose. Why not pair the pill with ripped jeans and a sequin tank? Such an eclectic composition would look appropriate on a young girl. There are no regulations or exact recipes here: the main thing is to feel free and organic.
