Gaucho & Bolero Hats for Women

Bolero hats have Spanish origins, closely tied to traditional Andalusian styles often associated with Córdoba (commonly referenced as the sombrero cordobés / Cordovan hat)—a distinctive look known for its flat crown and broad, flat brim, traditionally made in felt and strongly linked to Spanish traditional dress and performance aesthetics. 

Gaucho hats, by contrast, are associated with the South American gauchos—the horsemen/cowboys of Argentina and Uruguay—and are similarly defined by a flat-topped crown and wide flat brim, often paired with a chin cord (wind tie) for function in open, windy landscapes. 

Today, these styles are beloved for that dramatic, fashion-forward silhouette: a wide flat brim that frames the face and elevates even simple outfits. Think Spanish romance and precision in the Bolero/Cordobés tradition, and rugged equestrian heritage in the Gaucho tradition—two distinct origins, one instantly recognizable statement shape.
