the 2016 Kentucky Derby is here and
while you're sipping on mint juleps and
betting on horses you'll need to know
what types of hats are acceptable aware
because there's nothing more iconic
about the Derby than those hats I'm
Katherine beat and I'm Matt Moreno and
we're taking a look at the best and
worst types of hats you'll see at the
Kentucky Derby back when the annual
horse race began in 1875 it was
advertised as an event for female
attendees to show off the finest clothes
and hats in their wardrobes
the Derby's website suggests women go
for elegance and style while wearing
wide brimmed hats accessorized with
flowers and colorful ribbons now the
men's hats usually aren't as big and
bold but that doesn't make them any less
important really there there are just as
important even though they're not as
bold as grand grandiose so you can still
get 10 points for style with this okay
10 points 10 points it's tradition to go
with a fedora or bowler hat inspired by
the 1920s but who says you can't break
away from tradition every so often more
attendees seem to be flaunting head wear
that looks more crafty than Couture such
as this a brown flower adorned headpiece
there's a like cheetah or giraffe
printed flower like right in the middle
of her hat so natural or this fake fruit
covered pink hat pretty neat a
centerpiece all of a sudden and you're
like oh perfect my hat drop it on the
table and you're good to go let's not
forget about the feathers though so many
feathers
Johnny weirdest truly knows how to rock
it doing I mean I say so many points for
just wearing going out there you know
head to toe
it's a look and then there are those who
take things really over the top
we're calling it the hot gluing your
children's toys all over your hat kind
of look some attendees has even set out
to recreate the Kentucky Derby on their
heads I would think that would be heavy
that's that's a lot to carry around to
the entire day
right it's a long day if you choose to
go that last row you're braver than we
are thanks for watching
