But there’s not need to sacrifice comfort for style. When it comes to footwear, I suggest prioritizing comfort as the day can be quite lengthy. For both guys and girls, polo shirts, sports blazers, and preppy plaids will be prevalent! Shoe Trends Prep School - The preppy style has been reimagined this season, and no sporting event embraces and celebrates American Sportswear quite like the Kentucky Derby.

Spotted all over the red carpet (Lupita Nyong’o and Da’Vine Joy Randolph at the Oscars) and the runway (LV and Bottega Veneta), this is the perfect trans-seasonal hue for race day and easy to rock for both the ladies and gents!Ĭoming Up Roses - “Florals for Spring, Groundbreaking” I know… but these are! The perfect trend to sport at the Run for the Roses, designers have given new life to florals with a plethora of 3D, surrealist embellishments, and motifs!

Glacial Blue - Pastels have long been a favorite at the Kentucky Derby, but this year, we will specifically see a lot of powdery, icy pale blue. You want to ensure that one does not overpower the other and vice versa. Should you have a sleek hat, you can balance it with a fun color or pattern. So if you are working a flamboyant extra-large hat, think about keeping the outfit streamlined and more minimal. Let’s prioritize!!! The star of the show is your headwear so start there and let the rest of your outfit follow. Created with more than a century’s worth of trends in mind, Kentucky Derby fans will feel inspired by the history found in the 2024 Style Guide when pulling together their outfits to wear for this year’s race.
