Kentucky Derby is this weekend and whether you are attending the race at Churchill Downs, joining the fun downtown at the Maiden Alley Derby Party, or hosting a soiree of your own; Derby Day fashion is probably one of your top priorities. You have the hat and dress, but have you thought about your shades? Not just any pair will do! The Kentucky Derby is all about polish and prep, so here are my picks for Derby Sunglasses!
- BLUE AND WHITE DELIGHT
A white fascinator is the perfect topper for the girl who is just looking to have fun. Not only will it stay in place throughout the day, you will also avoid the dreaded hat hair! Pair large cat-eye sunglasses with a fascinator, like these Tory Burch sunglasses, with pops of color that match your dress.
- BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
Are you crazy for floral? Many Derby hats feature silk flowers, so why not continue the trend with your sunglasses? These Vera Bradley Barbara Aviators in Tutti Frutti will match any of your pastel dresses and hats. Keep your jewelry simple and let your hat and sunglasses make the statement.
- THERE IS A SHADE OF RED FOR EVERY WOMAN ~AUDREY HEPBURN
Stand out from the crowd in a bright red dress and large red hat. The larger the hat, the smaller the shades, so these red Kate Spade Chandra sunnies look fabulous with this outfit!
- Classic Black and White
Ooze elegance in classic black and white. If your hat has a flirty curve that exposes your face, go big or go home with your sunglasses! These black oversize Tory Burch sunglasses look beautiful with this style and are great for every day errands after the Big Race!
