How to Wear a Beret - The Laird Hatters Style Guide

Effortless yet expressive, the merino wool beret is one of the most versatile pieces in headwear. Whether styled for Parisian elegance, bohemian ease, or modern minimalism, how you wear it defines the look.

1. The Classic French Tilt

The signature look. Timeless, elegant, effortless.

· Place the beret flat on your head

· Gently pull it to one side (usually right or left)

· Let it sit just above the eyebrow

Best for: Chic outfits, tailoring, coats, classic styling
Style mood: Parisian, refined, understated confidence

2. The Bohemian Relaxed Look

Soft, loose, and slightly undone.

· Wear the beret further back on the head

· Allow the crown to drape naturally

· Keep it slightly off-centre for ease

Best for: Knitwear, layered outfits, creative styling
Style mood: Artistic, relaxed, free-spirited

3. The Modern Minimal Fit

Clean, sharp, and contemporary.

· Position the beret centred on the head

· Keep it neat with minimal tilt

· Smooth the crown for a structured look

Best for: Monochrome outfits, smart casual, urban wear
Style mood: Modern, refined, quietly confident

4. The Creative Expression

There are no rules here, only attitude.

· Experiment with angles and positioning

· Wear it higher, lower, or more dramatically tilted

· Let texture and shape do the talking

Best for: Statement outfits, fashion-led looks
Style mood: Expressive, bold, individual

5. The Hunter

This is purely practical

· Wear it sitting centrally, peaked in the middle, slanting backwards

· The rain will slide off sideways and backwards

· Make sure the brim goes over the back of your neck and eyes at the front

Fit Tips - Getting It Right

· The beret should sit comfortably without gripping too tightly

· Allow the crown to naturally form shape, don’t over-structure it

· A slightly imperfect drape often looks more authentic and stylish
