Not one fashion editor in these United States got it right. Melania Trump’s inaugural hat is a classic Spanish bolero. Treat yourself to a listen to the ballet, “Bolero,” from Bizet’s opera, “Carmen.”
Melania was communicating power; she is a woman in control. The bolero, sometimes called a cordobes, is the hat of the Spanish bull fighter on a horse.
Like the American cowboy hat, it is worn today by both men and women at Spanish festivals.
