Hats for the Kentucky Derby

Filed under: Apparel

The Kentucky Derby is coming up this Saturday and the one thing every (female) spectator needs is a hat. Derby headwear should not be an everyday hat, but an ostentatious hat - the bigger the better. Attitudes by Angie makes some spectacular hats, including those seen in the movie Elizabethtown. Her Winner Take All hat has nearly as many flowers as the rose wreath that the winning horse is awarded with, so it's perfect for the race. If something more understated is more your style, Hats in the Belfry has a wide range of elegant Derby hats. Theirs include sleek designs with floral accents, like the Naturally Beautiful hat. The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft has a huge selection of one of a kind hats, too. The above pictured Paradise hat runs at the high end of the Derby hat price range, at $1,200.

The cologne is for men and has notes of tarragon, sage, bergamot, nutmeg and sandalwood. Bottles sell for $30 and $40 and have a car-tire-like metallic and rubber top that is embossed with the Daytona 500 logo.
