- According to Tan France, tourists should generally avoid wearing a clichéd beret in Paris.
- However, French style experts believe that wearing a beret can be done tastefully in certain situations.
- They share tips on when it’s acceptable to wear a beret and how to avoid looking kitschy.
Tan France, the designer and fashion expert from “Queer Eye,” advises against wearing berets in Paris.
In an interview with Insider, France emphasizes that berets have become clichéd and could potentially lead to embarrassment.
However, French content creators suggest that there are ways to wear berets without looking like a tourist or reinforcing stereotypes.
‘Emily in Paris’ sparked a resurgence in the beret trend
The show, featuring Emily, an American who wears berets while living in Paris, resonated with many locals.
According to Mélodie Bance, a creator and art historian, the show contributed to the increased popularity of berets in Paris.
She mentions that the trend briefly resurfaced a season or two ago, particularly with the rise of more feminine fashion, and possibly due to the show’s popularity.
Berets are primarily seen on tourists or older men
Marielle Haon, another Paris-based creator, also noticed a resurgence in beret-wearing after the release of the show.
However, she explains that aside from tourists, berets are typically worn by older French men.
Pia Moubayed, a creative strategist and popular lifestyle Instagram account owner, agrees that berets should remain associated with cute elderly French men.
If you choose to wear a beret, style it appropriately
According to Haon, who is known for her classic style, a red beret can enhance a casual outfit, while a black beret can add chicness to a white coat.
Bance suggests that a beret can be a fun accessory for a more feminine and put-together look, such as pairing it with a 1960s dress.
However, Moubayed, who dislikes the beret trend, advises against using it as a symbol of Parisian lifestyle and instead suggests incorporating it into edgier outfits for a unique twist.
