Beret

A beret is a style of hat that typically appears on men and women in France as a sort of cultural identity piece. It is also occasionally worn by artists and has become a standard part of uniform among certain branches of the U.S. military.

In mainstream Smurfs media, Painter would wear a beret in his brief appearance in the 2011 Smurfs movie. The same character in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series would adopt a beret about a year or so after Empath's final return from Psychelia.
