Blonde Girl With Big Breasts Wearing A Black Top And The Beret At The Window

Berets came to be popularized across Europe and other parts of the world as typical Basque headgear, as reflected in their name in several languages (e.g. Baskenmütze in German, Basco in Italian or Baskeri in Finnish). Though common and quite old, this is an erroneous view since the cap's origin is Greco-Roman. They are very popular and common in the Basque Country. A commemorative beret is the usual trophy in sport or bertso competitions, including Basque rural sports or the Basque portions of the Tour de France.
• Scotland
There are several Scottish variants of the beret, notably the Scottish bonnet or Bluebonnet (originally bonaid in Gaelic), whose ribbon cockade and feathers identify the wearer’s clan and rank), and which is a symbol of Scottish patriotism. Other Scottish types include the tam-o'-shanter (named by Robert Burns after a character in one of his poems) and the striped Kilmarnock cap, both of which feature a large pompom in the center.
