While hats are still struggling to make their presence on the scene properly felt, here comes yet another accessory with great potential of making a statement. Nevertheless, if hats may have seemed a bit inaccessible, this one beret is clearly an audacious piece that only the most daring and stylish can wear without looking ridiculous.

As a general rule, women choose hats not for aesthetic purposes, but rather because of their practicality on cold weather. This is one of the explanations for why we get to see so many big furry hats or cutely knitted creations all around us. Of course, the focus still remains on looking good, but it’s somehow faded into the background. For those looking for a bit more than just keeping warm, the Helene Berman Bow Beret should do just the trick.

Priced at £29.37 (but currently out of stock), this creation is not only extremely elegant and chic, but also unbelievably cute in its simplicity and contrasting colors. Somehow echoing the glamour of the ‘60s, the oversized white bow and the simple design, matched, of course, with an equally cute hairstyle and winter coat, have all that it takes to make you literally stand out from the crowd.

Trying for a second to disregard what “Cosmopolitan” was saying in its August issue about how women should avoid berets – always –, this Helene Berman creation should clearly be given a second chance before being discarded, industry watchers say. All that should be taken into account are simple, common sense things, like the facial bone structure, the haircut and the overall look of the woman who’s giving it a go.

Moreover, now that the cold season is here, we no longer have to worry about hats or berets messing up our hair – we have simply been offered the perfect excuse to choose one and proudly wear it.
