I found this ad in the back of this month’s Smithsonian magazine.

Look at that face. So confident. So sure of himself. A true playboy. He’s seen his share of wine and women, and he’s always ready for more.

Does anyone even wear berets anymore? Women 30-somethings posing in winter J. Crew catalogs might wear them, but they do look pretty dorky in today’s modern world. Kind of like wearing black socks with shorts. Or a beard without a mustache.

I’m not into fashion so I could be way off base here. Feel free to wear a beret and prove me wrong!
