Why a Mexican hat has a wide brim

The name of this hat comes from the Spanish word sombra, which means shadow. The wide brim was originally intended to protect farmers and riders in Mexico from the bright sun. Later, the hat became the recognisable image of mariachi bands and Mexican holidays, and thus grew into the permanent centrepiece of any fiesta look.

Moustache, sunglasses and jewellery to complement the red hat

A thick black moustache, either stuck on or drawn with face paint, instantly completes the Mexican look. Add large sunglasses for a summery appearance, or choose a colourful necklace that picks up the red of the hat. A striped poncho in bright colours fits well underneath and keeps the red hat as the centrepiece.
