Be honest now, I have a thing for hats but I can't seem to pull off the girly-classic beret, sequined or not. I can pull off ridiculous pillbox hats, oversized & 1960-fied newsboy caps, the trilby, the pork pie, the Selentino Kojak, the top hat, the derby and even a fedora, and have a fine collection of these. But the soft and girly beret? Not sure about this, Garbo knew how to do it, and men in stiff green ones look bad-ass, but not I. Mental note: stop buying berets.
