The term bolero derives from Spanish with the original meaning of dancer, in relation to the typical dance that originated in the late 18th century. The bolero is characterised by a precise rhythm marked by percussion and a three-quarter time.
The bolero as an item of clothing originated as a short cardigan that never reached the waist. Long or short sleeved, without a collar, with rounded edges, without buttons, it is an accessory that elegantly and discreetly completes and enhances the body’s shape.
Over time, this garment has taken up more and more space in our wardrobes, evolving with fashion.
Minimal models give way to more fancy, casual or elegant ones. Depending on the fabrics, decorations or different applications, the bolero becomes a pass-partout for every occasion and outfit. Small and compact, it enhances the shape by bringing attention to the gracefulness of the waist and neckline, leaving just the right amount uncovered.
Whether matching or the touch that breaks it up, the bolero jacket lends character to the outfit by becoming the accessory that sets your look apart.
