Beret — a soft, round, flat-crowned hat, usually made of wool or other warm materials. It typically lacks a brim and is designed to be worn tilted to one side, being often considered a symbol of artistic or bohemian expression.

Beret has roots in traditional headwear worn by shepherds in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain. The name of this headwear itself is of French origin and derived from the Old Occitan word “berret,” which means “cap” or “small hat.”
