charro suit

Mariachi performance attire

A charro suit is the traditional outfit worn by Mexican horsemen and mariachi musicians—a fitted jacket and pants with ornate embroidery, silver buttons, and often a wide-brimmed sombrero.

The style originated with charros, skilled horsemen similar to cowboys, and became formal ceremonial dress: He wore a black charro suit with gold trim for the quinceañera.
