sombrero
Wide-brimmed topper
A sombrero is a wide-brimmed hat, traditionally Mexican, with a high conical crown.
The broad brim provides shade from the sun—the word comes from Spanish *sombra*, meaning shade.
In American contexts, sombreros appear most often as festive props or cultural stereotypes: The restaurant had sombreros on the wall.
