Bandera de México

/Sounds like 'CHAR-roh'/

In Mexico, the traditional rider dressed in an ornate outfit is a cultural symbol of the country. However, colloquially, something that is 'charro' is considered outdated, tacky, or excessively traditional in its style.

Example

"Those decorations are very old-fashioned, we need to modernize."

"The man arrived at the event wearing his entire traditional outfit and caused a sensation."
