How to wear men's berets
How to combine berets in your image depends on their model, height and color. The most win-win option is a combination with jeans. In general, these are quite versatile shoes. Of course, you should not wear them in the office with a suit or at an official reception with a tuxedo, but otherwise there are very few restrictions for them. This shoe is suitable for any age, season and style (except for business).
The right choice (model, size, color)
First you need to understand that berets is the name of the type of shoe, with its own characteristic features, but within the group there are a huge number of models. And if, suppose you put in a row Danner Acadia (any of this series), Garsing Cyclone and Golden Eagles from the same Garsing, then you can’t immediately see family similarities in them. But there are martins and grinders who also belong to berets.
Reference! Martins' reputation as skinhead shoes led to the fact that in the 60–70 years. in the USA, models with steel toes were often confiscated by the police as weapons.
There is still no convenient unified classification of models. It is customary to separate them according to seasonality and purpose. According to the last sign, they are divided into three types:
- military (statutory);
- civilians;
- tourist (or trekking, they also include mountain).
Inside the group, they can differ not only in material, but also in tibia height, number of eyelets (hooks), color and even arch support material.
If the berets are not chosen for military tactical games or hiking in the mountains, then you should pay attention to the manufacturers: Garsing, Dr. Martens, or domestic Alpine. The range of these manufacturers is very wide and you can find a suitable pair for the urban environment. If finances allow, then you should take a closer look at Danner. This company was not in vain chosen by the US Army for uniforms of its military.
Real grinders are not easy to find, they are often faked, but they also deserve attention. Inside the brand, grinders (excluding sneakers and boots) are divided in style into four rulers.
Style and ownership
Classic
Classic grinders, the height can be very different (from 8 to 20 holes for shoelaces).
Work
Bertsa with steel inserts on the toe and sometimes on the sole.
Boxer
Low shoes, usually with only three holes for the laces.
Street
Lightweight classic grinders. Well suited for everyday wear.
Like any shoes, berets should be combined with other clothes not only in style, but also in color. Look bad with clothes in bright colors, it is better to give preference to restrained colors.
Ankle boots are perfectly combined with clothes in a sports style, casual (some models of berets will be appropriate in a business casual), ethnic. And of course, it's hard to imagine military and grunge styles without these shoes. With military style it is important to maintain balance and moderation so as not to look like a deserter from military exercises.
Important! Clothing in classic business style does not combine with berets.
For outerwear, the same style rules apply. Do not combine with a classic coat, especially with a double-breasted coat. Bright colors in outerwear should also be avoided. Still berets add to the image of brutality, so you should not wear them with a lemon-yellow sports jacket. It is worth choosing classic restrained colors: black, gray, brown, dark blue, olive.
Trousers under berets
When choosing trousers for berets, it is worth remembering the rules:
- If the boots are high, the trousers are always refueling. Therefore, they should not be excessively wide. Skinny is also undesirable.
- Also, jeans can not be tucked, but tucked. But in this case, a strip of leather between the shoes and the trouser leg should not be visible.
- Light tissue is prohibited. The material from which the pants are sewn should be tight and sufficiently rigid.
Khaki pants, chinos (only if brown berets) and, of course, jeans (except for extravagantly narrow models) will look great . You can wear them with tight cargo pants.
The top can be almost anything: a T-shirt, T-shirt, a loose checked shirt, cardigan or sweater.
Some tips
Some tips on how to wear and care for your berets:
- High boots are not combined with long outer clothing, especially tall models.
- The belt should match the color of the shoes.
- In order for the boots to last as long as possible, it is enough to wipe them and periodically treat them with wax or a special water-repellent composition.
- Most berets require posting. Immediately after the purchase, they must be treated with alcohol from the inside and pass through them for several hours. So you can stretch them on the first day.
- If the shoes are made of leather, then it should be periodically lubricated with vegetable oil (in winter - once a week).
- Once a month, the inner surface must be treated with vinegar. This simple procedure will help to avoid fungal diseases.
These shoes are rightly considered "unkillable." After all, if you follow the simplest rules of care, then the berets will serve for more than one year.
