Beret

A light blue wool beret with a round, flat crown and black leather trim stitched around the edge. The front of the beret bears a circular embroidered patch featuring the United Nations insignia — a world map surrounded by olive branches — in white and pale blue thread.

This distinctive light blue beret served as a key identifier for United Nations peacekeeping personnel, colloquially known as the “Blue Berets.” Canadian peacekeepers wore this style as part of their standard uniform in overseas deployments under UN command, symbolizing neutrality and the international mandate for peacekeeping operations.
