sombreros

Wide-brimmed headwear

Sombreros are wide-brimmed hats traditionally worn in Mexico and the American Southwest, designed to provide shade from intense sun.

The high crown and broad brim make the silhouette distinctive.

Outside their practical origins, sombreros appear as cultural symbols, costume pieces, and stereotyped imagery: The mariachi band wore matching sombreros.
