I've included pictures so that you guys can see that it is not as dark as the picture shown. If it was, it would have been a perfect match. It is RED, and bright. This beret is not quit the color that I was looking for. My coat has more purple in it. I thought that the beret did too but it doesn't. I would have given it 5 stars if it was dark like the advertised picture.

With that said ... that's ok because it is CUTE and STYLISH. I LOVE, how the bow is designed seamlessly into the hat. It is very sharp looking. I like the fact that this beret has a tight fit but is stretchable, which makes it easy to put on. It's not a tight fit that cuts off circulation. It fits just right.  I also like the fact that it is structured. You take it out of the package, pop it out where needed, and it's ready to wear. It holds its shape well, and it looks the same every time you put it on. I haven't worn it outside yet .. but I think that it would take a high gust of wind for it to blow off. I highly recommend this beret, but again beware it is way brighter than what you see in the advertising picture.
