I love wool berets and I have had them for years. They come and go in fashion. With me they stay. They are a classic. I had this Monty wool beret from Kangol in size S, but it was a little too small, so I bought a size M and it is just perfect.

I like this cap. Big hats do not look good on me. And they make me feel too dressed up. But they sure do look good on others. I love the big boho hat look. But for myself I prefer small headgear. Like this one.

Years ago I had a beret like this. And I loved it. It is not easy for me to find hats that suit me. But this one does. So this Christmas I put it on my wish list. And my wish was fulfilled. I am so happy for it. It is a classic made by Kangol. Actually Field Marshal Montgomery wore a Kangol beret as he commanded the allied troops in World War II (cf. the painting of Montgomery, painted  by Reginald Henry Lewis, 1946).
