The Mexican sombrero is a 60 cm hat for adults, with a tall pointed crown and white pom-poms along the wide brim.

The Mexican sombrero as a sun hat and party hat
The Mexican sombrero started as a work hat: the wide brim provided shade for farmers and cattle ranchers during long days in the fields. The name comes from the Spanish word sombra, which means shade. Later, the wide-brimmed hat with a decorated brim became the trademark of mariachi musicians, and therefore it is the first image that comes to mind of a Mexican party.
How do you create a recognizable mariachi look around the Mexican sombrero?
You build a recognizable mariachi look around the Mexican sombrero with a striped poncho or a short jacket, a stick-on mustache, and a pair of maracas in hand. The red version stands out over a dark outfit, while the black one looks good with a tight suit with decorative buttons. If you choose the natural version, it fits best with a poncho and a simple farmer look. Wear the hat slightly back, so that the pom-poms around your face remain visible.
Order the Mexican sombrero in the version that fits your outfit and go to your Mexico party or carnival party in Mexican style.
