Keeneland Hats & Fascinators
Keeneland in Lexington runs two short, much-loved race meets each year — in April and October — and both come with a well-dressed crowd. Our Keeneland hats and fascinators are made an hour down the road in Louisville, KY, designed for spring florals and fall jewel tones alike.
Race Day Hats for Keeneland's Spring and Fall Meets
Keeneland is one of the most beautiful racetracks in the country, and its crowd dresses for it. The track publishes dress codes by area — Casual, Business Casual, and Business Formal — and the clubhouse and dining rooms expect polished attire. A fascinator fits right in: it adds race-day polish without the bulk of a wide-brim hat, which matters on a breezy Lexington afternoon.
For the spring meet in April, think Derby-season pastels and florals: blush, peach, lavender, and soft green. For the fall meet in October, switch to burgundy, navy, black, camel, and gold. Keeneland also hosts the Breeders' Cup World Championships in some years — see our Breeders' Cup fascinators for fall championship looks.
Every Keeneland fascinator is handmade to order in our Louisville studio from millinery sinamay, silk florals, and hand-curled feathers. Standard production is 7–10 business days.
