Why is it masculine?

Sombreros is masculine because it derives from the Latin "sombra" (shadow) plus the masculine agent suffix "-ero" (one who makes or deals with something), literally meaning "shadow-maker" or "shadow-bearer"—a hat that makes shadow. The "-ero" suffix in Spanish typically produces masculine nouns, which is why the word inherited masculine gender.
