Navy Blue Wool Beret with White Pom-Pom

1970s · 1960s · African American

A navy blue wool beret featuring a soft, rounded crown that drapes naturally when worn. The hat displays traditional beret construction with a flat circular base and gathered fabric forming the characteristic puffy silhouette. A cream-colored pom-pom sits centered on top, creating a focal point against the dark wool. The beret appears to be made from dense wool felt, giving it structure while maintaining the soft drape typical of this French-inspired headwear style. The piece represents the 1960s adoption of European beret styles within African American fashion culture, combining practical warmth with stylish continental flair during the Space Age era's embrace of international influences.
