Hats―a fashion statement!
Traditionally, they determined a woman's wealth, status, and class.
France is one of the leading countries for fashion! Haute Couture (High Fashion) is a French tradition that has survived different seasons that have come and gone, and has given exclusive clothing styles without losing its grandeur. For centuries, the hat has been an essential accessory that conveys social status. Sure, the French deserve credit for this too. The trend of hats actually was associated with the uniforms worn by military and police personnel.

Paris, the hub of fashion, is popular for its hatmakers and millinery salons. Rose Bertin, along with Queen Marie Antoinette, were among the first modistes in the 18th century. Caroline Reboux, the Parisian couture modiste, invented the cloche hat. She's best known for her unique creation of hat designs. She would place fabric or felt on the client's head and cut and fold it into a hat.

Voulez-vous en savoir plus (would you like to know more) about the various chapeau (French name for hat) styles.
Basic Cotton/Wool Beret: The most widely found beret is the woolen beret. This hat can be worn with almost all the outfits. You can tuck in a few strands of your hair (as shown in the sample above) to achieve a neater appearance, or let the fringes peep out of the hat.

Knit Beret: The knitted version of beret stands out in the lot of traditional berets. Knit beret keeps you warm, and is generally worn in mushroom style.
Flower Beret: Another type which is popular, it has felt flowers embellished on its side. This style is closely linked to the Victorian era. Oversized berets with crochet flowers on them are great to wear and flaunt during winters. The self-trimmed berets with flowers accented on then, make for trendy wear during spring and autumn.
Beret is a circular-crowned hat that is soft and wide, famous from the 19th century. This cap is made from wool felt, felted jersey, acrylic fiber, or crochet cotton. Berets have gained worldwide recognition of being an essential component of the uniform worn by armed personnel. They are known as Official berets. They are stiffer than the newer versions, and usually, have leather trim edges. The style in which you tuck its brim, the side you desire to push your beret to, or the fabric you opt for, creates variations in the adornment of this tiny piece of accessory. Mostly, it is worn slightly tilted at one side of the head, and sometimes pulled over the forehead. Let's have a look at the various types of berets that are popular.
