Berets are generally associated with French boys. They were also worn in Belgium and Spain. We have, however, also noted some German boys wearing berets. We have realtively limited information here. We get the impression that berets were mostly worn by boys in areas close to France such as the Rhineland or by younger boys with fashion conscious mothers. We believe this was rather like America where the beret was seen as fashionable. After Wotld war II, the beret was used by some youth groups, but before the War it was one of many alternatives. We normjally see them bring wiorn with suits. We see somewhat older German boys wearing berets than in America, but still mostly pre-teen boys. We see some boys wearing them. We are not yet sure about girls. We notice what appear to be significan chronological changes in the popularity of berets. After the War, the bertet was not very populr, except as part of youth grouop uniforms.
