What is an artist’s hat called?
1 Answer
While artists can wear any type of headwear, the most famous type of artist's hat is called a beret. Usually crafted out of felt or wool, a beret is a round, flexible hat first worn in the 18th century in Basque, the border area between Spain and France. Its association with artists comes largely from Pablo Picasso, who was frequently photographed wearing one. On 1stDibs, find a selection of berets.
