The bears are wearing hats, glasses and ribbons.

There must be some kind of pattern based on these flashy accessories.

Here's a little tip: you can ignore the diagonal.

Pay close attention to the hats.

US Version

If you look along the top row, you'll see the bears are wearing a beret, a bowler, and a top hat in order from left to right. If you look down the first column, they're wearing a beret, top hat and bowler.

None of the bears are wearing the same kind of hat. The bears' ribbons and glasses follow the same pattern.
