A light wool scarf like the one above makes a sophisticated cover-up. Add a retro striped bow race day hat or wicker drawstring horseshoe bag to complete your look.

Big hats have always been a big part of Derby style. Keep the sun out of your eyes on a bright spring day in a hat like the bow race day hat below. Feeling crafty? Decorate a hat with craft supplies or greenery from your own backyard.

The races are a daytime celebration, so keep makeup simple and fresh: Sport a bold pink lipstick, but skip the dramatic eye liner and shadow. For your ‘do, balance a big hat with even bigger loose curls, a chic low bun or sleekly straightened hair.

1. Race Day Bow Tie, $65 2. Solid Classic Murray Shirt, $98.50 3.Solid Linen Pocket Square, $40 4. Floral Printed Sportcoat, $695 5. Club Pants, $89.50
Bold colors and pattern play are a sure bet at the Derby. Case in point: Mix and match a rose-printed sport coat (roses are the official Derby flower, after all) with a horse-printed bow tie and simple white button-front shirt. Prefer matching to mixing? Try a seersucker sport coat, solid classic Murray shirt and seersucker bow tie.
