There's no shortage of big horse races this spring between the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. If you're considering going to a party or hosting one yourself, the even bigger question is, what to wear? The hat is obviously the centerpiece for Derby, but what about the other races? And what can you wear with a hat? This is your runway for style. While the hat is always going to be the crown jewel of race day fashion, the following style tips prove there's a lot more to love.

The Statement Silhouette

You can make an entrance with bold silhouettes without being over the top. Look for chic design elements like balloon sleeves, petal cuts, and high-low hemlines that float with movement. Even a simple yet feminine outfit that includes a ruffled top and tulip hem jeans strikes a great balance of elegance and flair. If a dress isn't doing the talking this year, let your top and bottoms make the perfect statement.

Pastels, Perfected

Spring's color palette has grown up. Embrace baby blue, pistachio green, butter yellow, and powdery pink hues, which look especially chic in monochrome ensembles. Matching head-to-toe (even your hat or clutch!) not only makes a visual impact but also simplifies styling. Choose refined fits and modern tailoring to elevate the look further. Take a look at sculpted high rise flare jeans with a pop of pastel color and build a monochrome look around them.

Ankle Skinny Jeans and Modern Peplum

No, this isn't the early 2000s; it's even better! The 2025 take on peplum is clean, sculptural, and entirely modern. Whether in a jacket, top, or a built-in dress detail, a touch of peplum adds just the right amount of architectural interest. Pair a peplum hem jacket with a polished pair of ankle skinny jeans, and you'll have an elevated party outfit that's effortless to wear. The great thing about all of these outfit ideas is that you can wear them for any occasion this spring.

Jewel Tone Vibrance

If pastels aren't your thing or you're feeling a different vibe, make a vibrant entrance in rich jewel tones. Royal blue, ruby red, and earthy greens are a few saturated shades that bring self-assuredness and charisma to any outfit. They're also timeless colors. Browse for classic top silhouettes, including ruffle neck button-downs with three-quarter sleeves and long-sleeve button-downs with French cuffs.

Floral Prints

It's not spring fashion without the latest floral patterns and colors. Think about relaxed straight leg pants in a chic floral print with a neutral top. A floral dress with cap sleeves is another beautiful option if you want to dress up for your parties! And let's not forget breezy woven tops in spring florals.

If you find yourself sipping mint juleps and tuning into the horse races this spring, make your race day outfit as memorable as the event itself. Go bold, embrace color, and most of all, have fun with your fashion.
