BULLFIGHTER'S CLOTHING

La montera

The montera is a headwear worn by bullfighters. Its shape has evolved, but the tassels or males that finish it off on the sides, the black color and the trimmings are characteristic of it. At Toroshopping you can find both monteras for amateurs and for professionals.

The castanet

The castañeta is a cap-shaped piece covered in black silk that bullfighters wear on their heads during the fight. From it hangs the ponytail of natural hair or “false”, if it is artificial.

The cummerbund

The sash surrounds the bullfighter’s waist and generally goes together with the bow tie, which is a narrow tie worn by matadors as a fundamental element of their clothing. Both are made in satin.

The braces

The straps are each one of the fabric straps that hold the suit of lights bag from the shoulders.

The stockings

Stockings are part of the clothing worn by the bullfighter and with which they cover their legs. They are pink, and there are bullfighters who wear another one under this stocking, usually made of cotton.

The ballet flats

The ballet flats (or slippers) are a thin-soled shoe, very light and open, which is black. It is a basic piece in bullfighting clothing.

The shirt

The shirt worn by bullfighters is fine and lightly starched, white, with a stiff collar, embroidered chest or curly ruffle.
