From Vogue: "French model Zoe Alayrangues is giving a new bite to the
time-honored beret. The 18-year-old Parisian is an avid thrifter with an
affinity for Nike sneakers, and a style that she describes as “weirdo.”
Alayrangues often uses the beret to “embellish” her casual looks. “I could wear
joggers [sweat pants] like everyone else, but I wear a beret to counter the
style,” writes Alayrangues. “The beret adds a classical touch.”
That touch has to do with a certain amount of attention.
Alayrangues’s outfits are punctuated by the hat, rather than merely
complemented by it. A simple white T-shirt and black skirt, a charming summer
slip dress with New Balance sneakers, and a slinky black suit are all taken to
a completely new place once there’s the addition of a striking red beret.
“I
have a lot of [berets], but I can’t find green, pink, or light blue, which
pisses me off,” says Alayrangues, who also favors classic black, as well as a red
one with black piping and a gold star on the front. “I buy them in secondhand
shops, like Guerrisol.”
For those looking to emulate her style, they’d do best
to take a hit of her confidence. For her favorite place to wear a beret,
Alayrangues says, “I like to sit on the ‘bank’ with friends and drink wine with
saucissons [sausages] while looking at boys,” she says. “Then I love to bring
them to dance.”
