1st time to Kentucky Derby (work function). what to where? Sundress, sandles, and hat ok? or more dressy?

Question

Please help! There is nobody I know who is attending or who has ever gone!

Answer 1

I'm from Louisville,  and have gone to the Derby since I can remember. Wear a sundress (Lilly, Milly, Tibi etc.) a hat or headpiece and you can wear heels if you'd like but make sure to pack flip flops if you are in the grand stands. Plus for your first time you'll want to walk around so consider sandals. Also, it often rains/ gets muddy so pack a small poncho just incase so you don't ruin your dress. Keep your make up simple, remember its day time. And have fun!!
