WHAT TO WEAR

STYLE TIPS FROM 
Zanna Roberts Rassi

GUEST STYLE EDITOR

Fashion, beauty, and entertainment journalist Zanna Roberts Rassi has been tapped as Guest Style Editor for the inaugural publication of the Kentucky Derby Style Guide – overseeing the hand-selected styles that feature a feast of popping colors, new trends, and unique looks which are all elevated by the ever-fabulous headwear.

Hats First!

The star of the show is your headwear so start there and let the rest of your outfit follow.

It’s all about balance. So if you are working a flamboyant extra-large hat, think about keeping the outfit streamlined and more minimal.

Should you have a sleek hat, you can balance it with a fun color or pattern. You want to ensure that one does not overpower the other and vice versa.

Trends

Glacial Blue: Pastels have long been a favorite at the Kentucky Derby, but this year, we will specifically see a lot of powdery, icy pale blue.

Coming Up Roses: The perfect trend to sport at the Run for the Roses, designers have given new life to florals with a plethora of embellishments!

Prep School: The preppy style has been reimagined this season. For both guys and girls, polo shirts, sports blazers, and preppy plaids will be prevalent!

Shoe Trends

When it comes to footwear, I suggest prioritizing comfort as the day can be quite lengthy. But there’s not need to sacrifice comfort for style. I would avoid stilettos (as anyone who has tried to walk on grass in some can attest to) — the breakout star of this summer will be wedges! A chunky block heel or wedge sandals are both grass and feet friendly!!
