This nice-sized, somewhat slouchy beret is great for everyday wear. It has a fun star pattern in the center of the back and vents that let it breathe while the denser stitches around the opening keep the whole thing looking structured and secure. If you’re a hat person, this beret is a nice addition to your collection.
