In the spirit of my voyage to Paris… the beret has long been a symbol of France and the bohemian artist. Coming in many different forms- the classic small black of the mime, floppy red knit of the artist, army green for the revolutionary and sequins for the daring fashionista, the beret can be an accessory for many different types of women. Put one on and it can transform even the most basic white tee and jeans outfit. Of course, one of the most classic images that comes to mind is Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde.

Many celebrities have been seen in berets lately, ranging from dressed up on the red carpet to homeless chic on MK Olsen:
