When shopping for a dress to wear to the Kentucky Derby, I doubt “Little Black Dress” was on your radar. There are a few reasons why wearing a black dress to the Derby is a fantastic idea.
For starters, the hat pairing options are endless. Knowing I wanted to wear this Robert Rodriguez dress (pictured above) to Derby, I was completely at ease when I started looking for hats because I didn’t have to worry about matching colors perfectly or stressing over which comes first–the hat or the dress. Additionally, with wedding and grad season around the corner, you’re likely to get a lot more wear out of a classic black dress versus a trendier frock.
Don’t be surprised if you stand out among the crowd. Pastels, whites, and complementary spring colors won’t be hard to find at the track – but the woman in all black? She’ll be turning heads.
