Hats On … It’s Derby Time

The Kentucky Derby is about more than just a horse race and sipping mint juleps; it’s about hats, all kinds of hats.  When the Kentucky Derby started in 1875, men and women wore hats during special occasions and outdoor events.  In fact, to not do so would have raised more than a few eyebrows.  Over the years, society’s mandate on women wearing hats may have changed, but the love of wearing hats at the Kentucky Derby has not.  In fact, women’s hats have taken on a more colorful role at the Derby with each passing year … they are bigger, bolder, and better than ever before.
