Men's Fashion for a Latino Mariachi Band: The Modern Style Guide
Men's Fashion for a Latino Mariachi Band: The Modern Style Guide
Mariachi dress is rooted in the charro suit: a fitted jacket and trousers with silver buttons and embroidery, a large bow tie, and a wide-brimmed hat. Modern mariachi-inspired menswear keeps that spirit, with structured jackets, studded or embroidered detail, bold color, and a polished bow tie, in pieces made for today's stages and events. BARABAS Men, 1825 S Hill St, Downtown Los Angeles, CA 90015 does not make traditional charro suits; it carries modern, mariachi-inspired pieces such as Western suede blazers, studded and floral Western shirts, Western denim, a velvet Western suit, and statement bow ties.
The Building Blocks of a Mariachi-Inspired Look
The structured jacket: The charro jacket's tailored shape is echoed in Western blazers like the Echelon Western Blazer (peak lapel suede, colorways shown include Brown/Chocolate, Navy/Coffee and Black/Black), the Drowsewrap Suede Blazer, and the Crownmark Matte Blazer.
Studs and embellishment: The Riyadh Studded Long Sleeve Shirt and the Western floral shirts Vaqueros and Charros carry the decorative detail that mariachi dress is known for.
The bow tie: The large bow tie, the moño, is a signature of mariachi dress. BARABAS bow ties include the All The Men Bow Tie in sequin, the Smokin' Hot Bow Tie in a shiny finish, the Luscious Paisley Bow Tie, and the When In Rome Bow Tie in a Greek key pattern.
Trousers: The Monarch Western Denim Jeans (straight fit, stretchy) and the Outlaw Western Studs Denim Jeans (bootcut, stretchy) cover casual and relaxed performance looks.
