Berets are the most gracefully timeless style of hat — at once capable of being fashionable and delicate, feminine and powerful, representing and intriguing. In the 14th and 15th centuries, berets were mostly referred to as felt hats and were largely common among the peasant classes and artists. The beret symbolizes unity and togetherness in a group of people — a significant part of a uniform that indicates a strong alliance.
It was during the 1800s when the term “beret” was first used to describe the special hat. The name comes from the Latin term “bearnais berret,” which means a flat cap made of wool that farmers wear. During the 1900s, the beret moved from being worn by peasants and soldiers to being a fashion statement for women, as it proved to be stylish besides being functional. Several years after World War II, the beret came back as a fashion statement and a political symbol for revolutionaries from the late 1950s until the early 1960s.
Tinks is proud of the revolutionary and evolved history of berets. We believe berets represent our culture of peasant, artists, army, and vintage fashion. Tinks is here to create awareness for berets and introduce them to the world in a more distinct design and colors.
