Nina Dobrev Might Like Berets

If Nina Dobrev has learned anything from her on-screen character, it's to find a signature item for your wardrobe and make it your own. For Elena Gilbert, it's the leather jacket. For Nina, it's the slouchy beret.

We spotted the 21-year-old actress wearing three different versions of the trendy piece. We love her unique fashion taste, but our fave thing about Nina is that she's not a label snob. While on a break from the Atlanta set of The Vampire Diares, Nina tweeted, "Venice Beach! Just bought a hat from the boardwalk..Soaking up the last rays of sunshine in California" and included a photo of herself proudly wearing her bargain purchase: a cute blue knit beret.

Earlier that weekend, Nina rocked her hippie-chic style with a similar knitted beret in olive while meeting fans with co-stars Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley and she later tweeted, "Knit hats. Oversized and slouch-y. New obsession...Do it!"
