It’s all about the hats...
Ok, soap box on the silly hat thing. For people who couldn’t care less about horses.
I love hats.
But, first this idea that Derby traditionally had big ostentatious hats is warped. They seem to be stuck in the 1900s, and I mean turn of century. That’s when womens hats were often large, but after that it was not the fashion.
Second, wearing big floppy and ostentatious hats is NOT a good look with skimpy little Sun dresses. Again, more than a century ago, the hats fit the DRESS. Women had more clothing so the hats made sense. They just look stupid with skimpy trampy skin-showing dresses. Doesn’t matter the color match, and how tasteful the hat is….it does NOT match the style! Looks stupid.
Off my soap box!
