The Kentucky Derby is all about the horses, but it’s also the place where fashion runs a close second. The Derby is one of the few occasions for which the gentlemen put as much thought and effort into their attire as the ladies. Whether you’re sitting with the celebrities or strolling in the paddock, this is the one sporting event where the men better look good. I reached out to a few of our local boutiques to help put together a few Derby looks for the guys.
