They are incredible. Ils sont incroyables. Former American Suits actress and once-upon-a-time Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle seems to have learned a few tricks from her sister-in-law Kate, stunning in a white beret that is both non-traditional and undeniably classy much like Markle herself.
Admittedly, a beret might have been an improvement upon this questionable rust-hued bucket hat worn by French actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg. Almost had it!
Remember Me. Vous n'avez pas encore de compte? A daily email to learn French Advertise We are hiring! Excellent information packaged in a nice way. The only negative experience is the expectation of some French people that you should be able to speak French perfectly, if you try at all.
Hi, Charlianne, I am French and live in France and have lived in France for the last 77 years except for a 4 year educational trip to the US. But on striped tee-shirts I never see them on the streets or in daily life. On summer holidays yes frequently. But not at the office or on the streets.
Also French people abroad are very arrogant. Nice presentation of Parisien… I agree that they are clean people and smell well, but even being great producers of perfumes, I have noticed that most of them do not use perfume!!!
You know they have to be tourists. From Bethany, an American in Paris. They are much more formal than most other races esp. I own about 4 stripey tops and I also have two berets.
I never wear them together, a sartorial fail and I have hardly ever seen a anyone on France wearing the two together.
I was wearing a beret, as it happened. A passing scout troop took pity on the old geezer and put my tent up for me. Hahaha yes, this is true. I have only seen a French person wearing both at the same time once tourists do it of course.
I have never seen a US street get cleaned that often, and even weekly is surprising. I have never lived in Chicago or NY but I have lived in Dallas-Fort Worth and I say Parisian streets are no worse than US streets, and most of the time are much better, depending on the weather and district. For another anecdote of French hospitality, our landlady actually called the electricity company to help us set up our electricity account since we could not yet speak French at the time.
Further, it is rare for me to even see French angry at each other, much less at me. The combination of moisture and compressed wool formed the blueprint for the creation of felt.
Maybe artists were fashionably ahead of their time when they hopped on this train in the 14th and 15th centuries. We all know the starving artist trope. In these times, it rang true. Artists were some of the poorest in Europe at the time, so many sported the hat for practical reasons. Felt was cheap and reliably warm, so it was a reasonable choice. Some claim this was because they were trying to channel Renaissance painters like Rembrant.
Though it may hold some truth, the real reason was likely far less romantic than that. Military personnel began adding the beret to their uniforms in the s.
Berets, however, managed to remain in place. By the s, the beret soon became a popular choice for military uniforms. If provided on chilly days in the damp trenches and low manufacturing cost, the warmth made it a no brainer to mass-produce. While the French wore blue, the British chose black berets, and the United States started wearing green. A very popular and affordable French beret choice can be found here on Amazon. The beret became chic.
Gone were the days of the felt cap signaling poverty — now it was an indicator of style. Not only were s movie stars sending the message that berets were in — radical leaders were too. Communist leader and soon-to-be Cuban prime minister Fidel Castro adopted the hat, as did Che Guevara, a Marxist leader, and Argentinian revolutionary.
In the late 90s, the felt cap became more commonplace.
