The Kentucky Derby is a Southern spectacle rich in tradition; Twin Spires, world-class horses, Mint Juleps and the finest spring fashion. Both female and male attendees pull out all the stops when it comes to selecting their Oaks and Kentucky Derby apparel.
The Derby is one of the few times that gentlemen can dress up and stand out as much as the ladies. There are no rules or limits when choosing your Derby attire, and there’s no better sporting event to express yourself. Gentlemen, if you’re looking to complete your Derby outfit, all these great accessories can be found in local stores.
