Competing With Kentucky Derby Hats

By Melba Hardy


Horse races cannot be discussed without mentioning the Kentucky Derby. It is what most people think of when considering the sport, and is extremely popular in its own right. A piece of the event that is also extremely popular, however, centers around Kentucky Derby hats. These fashionable pieces have gained almost as much exposure as the race itself!

Everyone, whether they are a celebrity or a regular person, tends to jump at the chance to show off fancy and unique headpieces at the race. Everyone wants to be noticed, after all, and this is a great way to do it. Photo galleries packed with fantastic examples of the best and most creative hats can always be found online after the race day has finished.

Hat competitions are a very popular way to see how well one's creativity stacks up against all of the other people who love to show off their style. The official race organization supports these competitions, and embraces them as a traditional part of the Derby experience. Depending on which one is entered, there may even be prizes for the winners.

If you are interested in participating in one of these contests, or even if you simply want to wear a fabulous Derby hat, you have many options available. There are many retailers and designers who specialize in fantastic creations that will help you stand out. Searching online is the best way to get in contact with these artists.

It is fun and easy to create your own hat if you would like to add that extra personal touch. You can choose how much effort you want to put into it, whether it is simply adding a few details to a hat or coming up with something elaborately themed to your liking. Deciding how big you want your project to be is the first step.

For a more fashionable approach, you may decide that you want a hat that coordinates with the outfit that you will be wearing. This will likely mean that you will select a plain hat that matches your clothing or complements it, and then decorate it based on that. Flowers, ribbons, beads, and gemstones are all things that you can easily add for a wonderful look.

For a themed piece, the process can get a little more complex. You may find it helpful to sketch out your ideas first to see exactly what types of materials you will need before you get started, so there are no surprises midway through. You can get very creative with this particular approach, so do not be afraid to try out ideas that might seem a little crazy!

Regardless of where you watch the Kentucky Derby, you can always participate in the traditions that make it great, including wearing a fabulous hat. Invite your friends to watch with you, and marvel at the diverse ideas and fashions they all come up with. You will want to make creating Kentucky Derby hats a tradition that comes back year after year.
