Ever since Monica Lewinsky wore one in that infamous photograph with Bill Clinton, berets have had a bad name. But now that a few years have passed, and most of us have pleasantly forgotten the sordid details of Ken Starr's report, we can go back to loving that wonderful wool French hat.
As you can see from the fall runway collections shown earlier this year, berets are back, baby! And I can't wait to wear one because despite the negative attention Monica brought to this beloved hat, I've always felt deep down that nothing was more sophisticated, feminine or sexy than a beret casually cocked to the side of your head.
