Kentucky Derby is known as “the most exciting two minutes in sports.” It is the biggest horse race of a year. But let’s be honest: It’s really more of a fashion show for the most over-the-top hats of a year. So yes! Whether you’re at the race or at home watching. We thought that you need a perfect hat!

What’s the important elements when you choose a hat for Kentucky Derby?

1.Start planning early.

The Kentucky Derby day start at every first Saturday and Sunday on the May of a year. So you’d better start planning your hat to buy one month in advance. The early plan you made, the less trouble you had. Never push yourself into corner.

2. Always consider your clothing.

Your clothing comes first. Your Derby outfit should be all about the theme. After all, if you’ve picked the perfect red dress, your hat should flatter that dress, not clash with it or distract from it.

3. Your height is the key.

Keep your height in mind. If you’re on the taller side, consider a wider brim and have fun with size and shape. If you’re shorter, don’t wear a brim that droops down on both sides, since that can pull you down visually. One style that works on everyone is an asymetrical brim that goes down on one side but up on the other.

No matter how over-the-top you get, there will be someone with a crazier hat than you. “The good thing about the derby is that everybody wears a hat there. You don’t stick out, you don’t look weird.” However! Just be yourself! The only thing you need to concern is enjoying your time!
