How to Choose a Beret that Suits Your Face Shape
For those new to hat making, we recommend starting with a "beret."
Some of you might be thinking, "I might look childish if I wear one..." or "It might not suit me."
However, since berets are brimless, they are convenient items that can be worn indoors without needing to be removed.
If you have one that suits you, you can instantly elevate your everyday style just by putting it on.
That's why it's highly recommended for those new to fashionable hats!◎
Beret Basics and Tips for Finding "What Suits You"
Since berets are brimless, the shape and volume of the crown (the part that covers the head) largely determine whether it suits you.
At Simprin, we offer a wide variety of beret patterns.
Among them, they can be categorized as follows based on their shape characteristics:
◆ Round Berets
Soft, rounded shape
→ 6-Panel Beret, Sunny Circle Beret, Ribbon Beret
