The beret: a bit of history
The history of the beret dates back to medieval times in Europe. At that time, the beret was worn by both men and women, particularly in mountainous regions, to protect themselves from the cold. Over time, the beret became a popular fashion accessory, particularly in France, where it has become a symbol of French culture.
The traditional beret is made from wool and is often round with a small pompom at the top. It is usually worn tilted to the side of the head. The beret has also been adopted by many cultural groups, including artists and intellectuals, who have helped popularize it worldwide.
