Which ear to wear a beret over?

[Panache]

Here is a picture showing an extreme in kilting, matching one's outfit to one's pet, or is that vice versa?

Jamie, did you flip-flop the photo or are you actually wearing a beret pulled over the left ear?

It's pulled over the left ear. Is this not appropriate?

As Grant mentioned your a civilian so it doesn't really matter, but traditionally berets are puled over the right ear with any insignia over the left eye.

Thanks for the explaining. It just feels more natural that way. I wear my balmoral cap in the manner you describe above, but I rather have too as the ribbon is on the left side.

Other than in your pics, I have never seen a balmoral or a beret that could be worn pulled down on the left. I've been curious as to where you got it.

The London Irish wear a caubeen that is pulled over the right ear:

Wow. You're right, Jamie I didn't know you were military. Although in civilian life there is no 'proper' way to wear a beret.

Thanks for the link. I stand corrected. The only pictures I found of the caubeen being worn to the left were old ones. The new ones being pics of the Irish Rangers and the Irish Regiment all with caubeens to the right. Looks to be a unit specific moniker. Many units over the years had these peculiarities, but most have gone the way of the dinosaur. Kind of nice to see some of that. What would be interesting to know is whether that is "officially" sanctioned or just allowed.
