Miss Dorkus USA? No way.
Sorry I’m not sorry but the tag “statement hat” is going to be used A LOT today, apparently.
“Uncool stuff” (evidently, mostly non-patterned blouses) cast aside like so many crumbs from the feast that is Clarissa’s wardrobe, all in an effort to create the most incredible outfit that doesn’t include knee socks. As a lover of fashion risk takers, I admire her spunk, but as a lover of knee socks, I’m a bit dejected as well. (S1E5)
The Derby Day Fashion Guide!
The Derby Day Guide!!!
Lets start with the most important Derby Must Have for Fashion...The Derby Hat. Whether you’re in the infield or a box in Millionaire’s Row, Hats are a must at The Derby. They can be simple or grandiose, custom made or off the rack, just make sure to have one perched atop your head... If you don’t wear a hat to The Derby, you might feel like the girl who wears jeans to a little black dress party. Fail.
Now Trending...This year look for The Fascinator, a hot new trend from across the pond, to be all the rage at Churchill Downs!!! Popularized by royal bride Kate Middleton, these chic, dainty headpieces are made from a simple woven disc topped with feathers, netting & secured in your hair with a comb. One more reason to love a Fascinator... They won’t leave you with dreaded hat hair at the end of the day!!!
Onto the Dress! Like hats, dresses are a given at the Derby. But the interpretation can vary, with attendees sporting everything from strapless sundresses to more formal day suits. Your best bet is to keep the silhouette simple, as to not detract from your Exquisite Hat!!! And remember to think in terms of layers... We have temperatures & weather conditions ranging every year, so check the weather & come prepared!!!
Now for The Shoes!!! From cobblestone pathways to grass, not to mention Unpredictable Weather, all of which can make Derby footwear tricky... The solution??? Go ahead & sport those Sexy Heels or Wedges, but DO Bring a backup pair of cute flats too. They’ll be a perfectly acceptable alternative!!! Since the hat is the crowning Jewel at The Derby, there’s no need for Large, Statement Jewelry! Our advice... Let your Hat Shine as the Primary Accessory & opt for simple pieces such as an understated strand of pearls or delicate bangles!!!
One thing Derby Veterans know to do is actually carry Two Bags the day of the event!!! One... A Sleek Clutch for placing bets and mingling! Two.. A Stylish Tote to house all those "Just in Case" items, including the Aforementioned Flats!!! So place your bets ladies & even more important... Look AbFab doing so!!! Let the Races Begin... -LTF
