Preakness Hats & Fascinators
The Preakness Stakes is the second jewel of the Triple Crown, and its signature flower — the black-eyed Susan — gives Preakness fashion its own look: sunny yellow, gold, and black. Our Preakness hats and fascinators are handmade to order in Louisville, KY.
Black-Eyed Susan Fascinators for Preakness Weekend
The Preakness winner is draped in a blanket of flowers styled to look like black-eyed Susans, Maryland's state flower, and the Friday before the Preakness features the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes for fillies. That's why yellow and gold, often with black accents, are the classic Preakness hat colors.
Preakness weekend falls in mid-to-late May, so spring florals still feel right — a yellow headband with peonies, a gold pillbox with ranunculus, or an ivory saucer with a black quill. Check the official Preakness site for this year's date and venue, as both have changed in recent years.
Every Preakness fascinator is hand-sculpted from millinery sinamay with silk florals and feathers in our Louisville studio. Standard production is 7–10 business days with rush options available.

Preakness Hats FAQ
Do you wear a hat to the Preakness?
Hats and fascinators are a Preakness tradition, especially in the clubhouse, grandstand, and hospitality areas. They aren't required, but most women dressing up for Preakness weekend wear one.
What colors should I wear to the Preakness?
Yellow, gold, and black — the colors of the black-eyed Susan, Maryland's state flower — are the signature Preakness palette. Any bright spring color works, too.
When is the Preakness Stakes?
The Preakness Stakes is run in Maryland in mid-to-late May, a few weeks after the Kentucky Derby. The Black-Eyed Susan Stakes for fillies is run the day before. Check the official Preakness site for this year's exact date.
Is a fascinator or a big hat better for the Preakness?
A fascinator is usually more practical — it's lighter, cooler in May heat, easier to travel with, and won't block anyone's view. Choose a large hat if you want maximum drama in a hospitality area.
