Hi, guys! Sorry I’ve been MIA the past couple of weeks. Back on track today to talk about arguably one of the most iconic southern events of the year, The Kentucky Derby! When you think about the derby, I’m sure big floppy hats and preppy floral dresses come to mind. Well, if that’s not necessarily your style, there are plenty of updated ways to dress chic for the occasion, whether you’re actually attending the Kentucky Derby (lucky duck), or a derby party!

Wear Black

Who says you can’t wear black for the derby? I love Gabrielle Union’s black monochrome look here. The dress has a modern, stylish silhouette, making it more playful, rather than formal. And the floppy hat tones it down for the daytime occasion, as well.

Add Fun Accessories

Of course Kim K looks super chic, but how did she do it? She added fun, unexpected accessories: black gloves and sunglasses, to elevate her Kentucky Derby look. A plain white dress stands out in the crowd with these well-curated details.

Rock A Jumpsuit

I’m a HUGE fan of jumpsuits not only because of how chic they are, but for the comfort factor. If you’re not comfortable in a dress, make an impact and rock a jumpsuit for the Derby (or anytime)! Dresses are expected but you walk in with a jumpsuit and BAM! you are the talk of the party (in a good way).
