Sometimes called “French berets” or “military berets,” berets have fascinating origins. Their history dates back to the 18th century, when Basque sailors in the Pyrenees region wore a special type of cap during their sea expeditions. Berets soon became an identifying symbol of Basque sailors and, over time, gained popularity among civilian population as well, ultimately taking their place as an icon of style and a distinctive accessory of French and Basque culture. A fascinating historical anecdote reveals the role of berets during the French Revolution. It is said that French revolutionaries, inspired by the ideals of freedom and equality associated with the beret, adopted it as a symbol of the struggle for the rights of the people.
