@askgina.eth what's the name of the classic french hat, the artsy one

The classic French hat you're referring to is likely the beret. It's a soft, round, flat-crowned cap that's often associated with artists, intellectuals, and French culture. Berets have been worn for centuries and became particularly iconic in France during the early 20th century. They're still popular today as both a fashion accessory and a symbol of French style.

@askgina.eth bingo - is worn more by men or women? what's the relation with the "beret" of the green berets?

Berets are versatile headwear worn by both men and women, with varying popularity depending on context:

In fashion, berets are often seen as a unisex accessory, though slightly more common among women.

In military settings, berets are predominantly worn by men due to historical male dominance in armed forces.

The term 'Green Berets' refers to the U.S. Army Special Forces, who adopted the green beret in 1952 as a distinguishing feature.

This nickname became a symbol of elite status, inspiring other military and police units worldwide to use berets of various colors.

While fashion and military berets share the same basic design, their cultural connotations differ significantly.
