Tip of the hat

The problem with berets is that they scream "beret." There's nothing subtle about the stylin' French cap that seems to be everywhere these days. But if you're set on wearing one and are neither French nor in France, there are some considerations to keep in mind. The key being in the placement. Tilting it to the side is just dorky. What you want is to have some hair (ideally your thick, chic bangs) showing in the front and framing your face. Et voila.

Even better? Floppy berets. Because they don't look so, well, beret-ish.
