Derby Dress of the Day: For the Oaks

Apr 18, 2013

Now that I’ve decided to go to Oaks, I’m thinking more and more about what to wear. This DVF ruffled beauty has been put into the Oaks bucket but you could certainly sport it for Derby too.

I love the bright bold pink and I know some people may think they need to down play the shoes when the dress is so bright but I go the other way. I think it’s a great opportunity to go all out. Pair this pretty with some bright green or blue sandals. Not into sandals, try this graphic ankle strap pair from ASOS. I’m thinking you could have a lot of fun doing a hat to go with any of these options.

If you’re going to be in the Paddock or walking around a lot, I’d probably opt for something more sensible but I think this sophisticated style is perfect for the Jockey Club Suites, Millionaire’s Row or to sport to the newest area of the track, The Mansion.
