What hat to wear to the Atlanta Steeplechase


The Saratoga Racecourse opens in just a few days
and I am getting ready 
by looking at photos of horse racing fashion 
and wearing some of what I call my 'Saratoga Hats.'

Caroline Fontenot of the 
shares some photos of the 
Atlanta Steeplechase here:


The women of Atlanta seem to favor 
brightly colored knee length dresses, 
some either sleeveless or completely strapless, 
paired with matching wide brimmed hats. 

For the most part, feathers and plumage 
were not too over the top. 
Pink, red and orange 
were preferred color choices.

The 47th Annual Atlanta Steeplechase  
was held on April 14, 2012. 

Photos of the hat parade are here: 

These women certainly know 
how to wear a beautiful hat! 

I saw many classy hats in the slideshow. 
Based on the smiles in the photos, 
many of the women felt beautiful in their hats.

Of course, there were some 
over-the-top just-for-fun creations. 
Many of the 'crazier' hats 
were worn with jean jackets.

One great thing I saw -
some potentially overwhelming hats 
with great grace. 
I would definitely like to have lunch 
with any one of them 
to get to know them better! 

Their photo can stand alone 
as a photo tutorial on 
how to wear a big hat to the track:

Great posture, shoulders back
and smile like you own the world 
- or at least the winning horse. 
What do you wear to the horse racing track?
