Because of the song, any raspberry berets in stores would now immediately get bought and then resold online for 10x the price

Or more likely it would go missing from the donated goods pile, and then get resold online

Like the hat? Try a military surplus store instead of a regular thrift store.

If it were warm, I wouldn't wear much more.

You could see a lot of fashion from thw 60’s and 70’s in thrift stores all the way through the 90’s. Then hipster style became mainstream and now all you can find in thrift stores is worn out suburban trash that was originally bought from a Ross or TJ Maxx.

Floppy, brightly-colored berets were popular in the late 60s and early 70s. I am unfortunately old enough to remember seeing some of them on the street, at school, on TV, etc. The character “Rerun”, played by Fred Berry on the show “What’s Happening!!”, wore a red one.

He does look like the kind of guy that would be fun to go riding with down by Old Man Johnson’s farm.

Technically, a military surplus store could be considered a second hand store. What militaries use berets that could be considered “raspberry” in colour?

Raspberries are red right? So loads!

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but they’re a fairly specific shade of red. I wouldn’t call, for example, a dark scarlet beret ‘raspberry.’

This comes up when I search for ‘raspberry color,’ which I’d call about right.

Aside of yourself, would anybody else genuinely notice the difference in shades? Especially if another one was not present for comparison.

FlyingSquid OP ,

I’m guessing if Prince had felt that the shade didn’t matter, the song would have been “Red Beret.”

I’d say that’s a close approximate of raspberry, but only if you’re shining light through it.
