Okay, so I finally caved and bought this wool beret after seeing it all over Instagram. First impression? SO. SOFT. The 75% wool blend feels luxurious without being itchy - major win for sensitive skin folks like me.
The fit is PERFECT (for reference, I have average-sized head). It sits snug but not tight, and the 10" diameter gives that perfect slightly-slouchy French girl vibe. Been wearing it nonstop during my morning café runs.
Color stayed vibrant after two hand washes (followed the care instructions!). Only minor complaint? Some slight fuzzies in the beginning, but they disappeared after the first wear.
Pro tip: If it arrives wrinkled from shipping, just steam it lightly. Mine bounced right back to perfect shape!
10/10 would recommend for anyone wanting that effortless Parisian aesthetic without breaking the bank. Already planning to get one in every color!
