The only thing we don’t like about the Kentucky Derby is that it happens just once a year — so many hats, so little time.

It can be extremely difficult to choose. It’s easy to get overwhelmed when browsing our beautiful collection, but we’re here to help you find the one that perfectly suits your style.

The Vintage Lover

She sometimes reminds you of a glamorous, old school film star with her luscious waves, fit-and-flare dresses and bold, red lipstick. At fancy events, she’s known to wear a crinoline under her dress for that extra boost of volume.

If you’re a lover of all things retro and seek to achieve a vintage bombshell look, what you’ll love best is a jauntily angled hat that slightly covers one eye for an air of mystery and seduction.

Pair your vintage-inspired hat with a swing dress, winged eyeliner and satin clutch for a winning look.

The Avant Garde Fashionista

The Avant Garde fashionista doesn’t look to the past for style inspiration as much as she looks to the future. She likes what’s different, unusual and not worn by anyone else around her.

If this sounds like you, then you’ll want to check out our audacious designs that always stand out in a crowd. Some of our favorites of this variety are the sculptural pieces that are large in height rather than width.

The Queen of Class

She may not be the first woman you notice when you walk in the room because her style isn’t loud or bold. But when you do notice her, you’re awed by the perfection, class and subtle grace of her look.

She’s the kind of woman that makes jeans and a white blouse look unbelievably chic.

If you’re this woman and are drawn to classic, sophisticated style that isn’t subject to the changing trends, then we’ve got some beautiful hats for you. These designs are elegant, understated and timeless… just like you.

The Wild Child

This lovely lady seeks to shock and surprise with her fashion choices. She loves feeling all eyes in the room on her as soon as she walks through the door.

Her style may not be what you’d wear, but you always admire her bold choices and unique perspective.

Does this sound like you? If so, a fancy hat for an event like The Kentucky Derby is a chance to really splash out and have fun. Go for something with sparkle, feathers and an asymmetrical silhouette to match your one-of-a-kind style.

The Southern Belle

The Southern Belle feels perfectly at home at The Kentucky Derby — mint julep in hand, flowery, feminine dress and, of course, a big hat to shade her face from the hot, southern sun.

This pretty lady is proud of her girly style that features lots of pink, flowers and ruffles. Swoon!

Regardless of where you’re actually from, if you rock a Southern Belle style, you’ll love these larger-than-life hats in bright, happy colors.

For women, a fancy hat has power — it can instantly transform a simple LBD look into stunning glamour worthy of a red carpet.

And when you choose a beautiful Kentucky Derby hat that matches your personal style, it won’t be hard to find many other occasions to wear it for years to come.
