From Heritage to Everyday Glamour
At Vivien Sheriff we admire the essence of timeless style that the beret brings to a woman’s wardrobe. With its rich history and enduring relationship to French culture, the beret has evolved from a symbol of revolution and artistry to a staple of refined, everyday elegance. Today, it's cherished by style-conscious women who seek to add a touch of glamour to their wardrobe.
Womens beret
From the Basque to Bardot
From its humble rural roots in France and Spain, its practicality and modest charm soon spread, and by the 20th century it was worn by artists, film stars and free thinkers. Over time, it evolved from these humble roots to become a bold statement piece, embraced by fashion icons from Brigitte Bardot to Princess Diana.
The French Connection
In the world of fashion, few items evoke “French chic” as effortlessly as the beret. Linked forever to the streets of Paris, the beret has become a shorthand for French style – a mix of sophistication, artfulness, and ease. It’s an emblem of France’s unique fashion heritage, embodying both glamour and a laid-back elegance. Worn in myriad ways—slanted, perched, or draped—the beret continues to reflect the individuality and self-assuredness that define French fashion.
