EspañolSOMBRERO
:''For the galaxy of the same name, see Sombrero Galaxy''
'Sombrero' means "hat" in Spanish. In English-speaking countries it typically refers to a type of hat originating in Mexico. Sombreros usually have a somewhat high tip and a very wide brim, used for protection from the hot sun in Mexico. Peasant sombreros are usually made of straw, while wealthier Hispanics wear sombreros made of felt. It is almost unseen in modern urban settings, except as part of a folkloric outfit worn in certain festivities. Cowboys of the American southwest later adopted the sombrero and modified it into the cowboy hat.
The word likely derives from the Spanish word ''sombra'', meaning "shade" or "shadow." The English word "sombrero" is a loan word from Spanish, where the term is used to refer to any hat with a brim. Spanish speakers outside Mexico refer to what English speakers call a sombrero as a "Mexican hat" ''(sombrero mexicano)''. A sombrero has a slightly pointed shape in the center of the hat surrounded by a very wide brim that might be slightly upturned at the edge.
Some people who are not familiar with the sombrero may wear it backwards. The tallest part goes on the back, while the longest part goes on the front to protect the face from the sunlight.
