I honestly don't get the practical point of a beret. Not big enough to keep your head warm but also provides no shade.
It looks cool but that's about it.
Military berets used to be bigger and provided some shade, but in modern times they’re used because they’re cool. Really the SAS made them popular in culture and now they’re associated with elite units as a status symbol. I’m not sure about African nations history with using them, but I assume it’s just colonialism and the elite status from before.
The fuck is this weird shit?
Those are the ones that were bigger and provided some shade lol you can shift it towards the sun for some protection.
