I love this beret. It is not for the coldest days--I have other hats for that. And it is not of the highest quality. But on bad hair days and days when it's a bit windy and chilly, this is perfect. My house is also cold and we try to save on heat. I often wear this hat in the house because it is so lightweight and doesn't make my head sweat. It does not squish your hair either. I plan to get others. They are also "on trend" if you care about that stuff...
