History
Fashion historians have figured out that this wardrobe item originated in Spain. Where else if not in this hot and temperamental country? Nobody can tell us the exact date, but approximately it happened in the 18th century.
Initially, the bolero belonged to the national costume of men, and did not have sleeves. Subsequently, this garment became an attribute of courageous and fearless bullfighters.
It is widely believed that the very name "bolero" is directly related to the dance of the same name (it was invented in the same 18th century by the Spaniard Sebastian Cerezo). Samples of women's outfits of that time indicate that these clothes were the property of not only men.
According to one version, ladies wore boleros over dresses to please the bullfighter. However, his popularity among the fair sex was not very great then.
