Sombrero is a city located in the Dominican Republic.
The name "sombrero" also refers to a type of wide-brimmed hat designed to shield the face and eyes from the sun. These hats typically feature a high, pointed crown, an extra-wide brim that is slightly upturned at the edge, and a chin strap to secure the headwear in place.
While the city shares its name with the traditional hat, the sombrero itself is strongly associated with the culture of Mexico.
