Jenny Pfanenstiel, Master Milliner and owner of Formé Millinery, is internationally recognized for her award winning craft of hand creating and sculpting hats using the highest quality and rare materials found all over the world. In the Churchill Downs Infield, hats are a bit more eccentric! You will see hats in all shapes and sizes, as well as some hats exuding humorous themes! The hats can be decorated with flowers, feathers, bows and ribbons of any color to express creativity and individuality. Generally speaking, women wear wide-brimmed, “Southern Belle” inspired Kentucky Derby hats. Within the seated sections of Churchill Downs, you will find hats of elegance and style. From the fantastic to the sublime, there are no rules or limits. Wearing a hat is much like getting into costume, you might be pleasantly surprised to see what type of character you become. Wearing a hat to the Kentucky Derby is believed to bear good luck! The long-established fashion was started by the women, however, over the last few years, many men have taken part in the tradition as well. What sets the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks apart from other sports and entertainment events? Is it the world-class horses? The Hollywood stars? The romantic Twin Spires? Well, first and foremost, it’s the hats! Part Southern tradition, part spectacle, the Kentucky Derby hat parade is much of what makes “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” one of the greatest people-watching events in the world! From the fantastic to the sublime, there are no rules or limits when it comes to choosing your Derby hat. In that bag, pack a smaller clutch or over-the-shoulder bag for your cash, wagers, phone, and essentials that you can grab to go make a wager or snap a quick picture of the celebrities on the Red Carpet. We recommend a large bag (but be sure to stay within the size limit) to carry a pair of shoes, a bottle of water, your program, sunglasses, sunscreen, a poncho, and anything else you might need during the day. The Kentucky Derby is a long day, with a lot of walking, so pack accessories accordingly. You can also celebrate the day with Kentucky Derby themed jewelry. Let your hat be the attention grabber as your primary accessory and keep the jewelry simple.
Since the hat is the focus of Derby fashion, there's not much need for large, statement jewelry. But remember, Churchill Downs historic grounds can be tricky to maneuver and the day is long, so remember to pack a backup pair of flats, just in case! No Kentucky Derby outfit is complete without the spring heel or sandal.
And remember to dress in layers, the Kentucky Derby is an outdoor event and the weather can be hard to predict. Vineyard Vines, the official style of the Kentucky Derby, has created a line of dresses just for the Kentucky Derby.
