Clothing Santa Fe, New Mexico

It is unlawful to wear a sombrero while dancing.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

In Santa Fe, spatial awareness on the dance floor is apparently a matter of legal concern. An old city ordinance forbade dancers from wearing sombreros, presumably because the wide brims posed a hazardous threat of poking out the eyes of fellow boot-scooters in crowded dance halls.
