What do bullfighters wear?
A bullfighting costume mostly consists of a silk jacket, heavily
embroidered in gold, skintight pants, and a montera (a bicome hat).
The best fabrics are used to make a bullfighting costume so that a
matador would feel comfortable and look outstanding. The
bullfighting costume price can be up to thousands of dollars and a
famous matador must have at least six of them for a season. The
most famous matadors buy their bullfighting costumes from top
designers, which are made to an exclusive and personal order.
Modern matadors can be quite extravagant in their choice; they can
wear pink socks, a white shirt and a red tie, and a large purple or
yellow cape. Earlier, bullfighting costumes were also made to an
order and each one possessed unique and unrepeatable features,
distinguishing one from another.
