There are two events which are the most popular horse racing events of the year, the Kentucky Derby and Steeplechase Nashville. It is that time of year where outdoor activities means iffy situations in weather. We could have 80 degrees one day and 50 the next with rain.
The key to looking polished at these ever so popular events is to wear breathable clothing like cotton, silk or linen. We want to present the look of elegance not one of wilted flower. So with that in mind, I say go for the simple sundress which can be changed up by adding a wrap, cardi or the very popular jacket for this season.
The show stopper at these events are the hats! There are many theories as to why women first wore hats to these events. In the era of Downton Abbey, women didn’t event think about going outside without wearing a hat. It was more of cultural custom for a woman to cover her head outside. Now, we can just say we wear our hats to showcase our own personal style once a year. Stay with us this week as we explore more hats. Stay Fashionable!
