With glamorous clothes on constant display at the Ascot Racecourse in England, a link soon developed between high fashion and horse racing. The tradition jumped the pond and both elegant clothes and hats were on hand at the inaugural Kentucky Derby more than 100 years ago. When hats faded from the public's everyday wardrobe, it seemed to increase the lavish nature of Derby Day hats. Wearing a hat only once a year made the occasion particularly special and extravagant results soon followed.
If the occasion arose, would you wear a hat? What would it look like? Would it be over the top or on the tame side? I think I would wear a hat but it would probably be a bit more simple.
