beret
(redirected from Basque beret)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

beret

Soft circular woollen or felt cap, without a brim or peak, considered to be of Roman or Greek origin. The two most common beret styles are the Basque, which has a narrow band around the base, and the Modelaine, which does not have a band.

Berets became fashionable in the 1880s when they were trimmed with flowers, feathers, or ribbons. Since 1900 they have often been worn unadorned.
