The Kentucky Derby is the perfect venue to showcase the newest and finest spring fashions, a veritable who’s who of southern style. It’s a no-holds-barred approach to decking out in the season’s finest gear. This is the best occasion to bust out some of your favorite showpieces and statement accessories! For the ladies, it’s all about that hat. For the gentlemen – don’t be afraid to go bold with color! Here are a few tips to keep in mind when dressing for Derby-related events:
For The Ladies:
- Keep your dress simple so as not to take away from your hat
- Let spring colors inspire you
- Hat or fascinator, don’t skip the headgear
- Keep makeup neutral and let the colors of your outfit speak for you
For The Gentlemen:
- Accessories aren’t just for the ladies! Spice up your outfit with a fun bowtie, pipe, cane, or suspenders
- Keep your colors in mind – something complimentary to your date’s hat without being too match-y
