And they’re off…Horse racing season is a year-round pursuit with millions of dollars at stake across the globe, but on Opening Day — at least in Del Mar — fashions may be talked about more than the betting. From big hats and heels, to dresses and suits, it’s time for your family to curate their best. Every July, San Diego this landmark event. People from all over the world travel to be a part of Opening Day at the Del Mar Racetrack including your favorite celebrities and their families. From stylish hats and fascinators at the racetrack it has become famous for its fashion. Whether you are headed to the Opening Day at the Races at Del Mar, Kentucky Derby, or just have a summer wedding or special event to attend, here are some stylish options for your family.

Appaman Suits

Your little man can “Win by a nose,” with all of the options that Appaman has. They have full suits or just single pieces like a blazer, shorts or dress shirt. If your son already has a suit, one option is to have him pick out a new tie or bowtie. This can be a fun way to show some pizzaz. If the event you are going to is a little more casual it can be fun to pair it with a button up top with a pattern. Make sure to check the weather before you go. It can be easy for little ones to over-heat when they are dressed up. We love that Appaman has suits with shorts or you can buy shorts to match an existing suit or blazer. The race track is known for being a place to showcase your fashion so let your little one express their creativity.

 

Little Trendsetter

If you are looking to “Win, Place and Show,” Little Trendsetter is a great option for the ladies in your entourage. From frilly frocks to fancy florals they have Mommy and Me outfits and also dresses for the little ladies. We love that Little Trendsetter has a variety of options of dresses from casual to dressy that won’t break the bank. It is always fun to find an excuse to match with our littles and the races is a great place to showcase your style.

 

 

Moral Code Shoes

While dad usually has a suit or jacket in his wardrobe, he might need to spruce things up with a new pair of shoes. Moral Code has lots of great options from loafers to dress shoes. Made from premium leather and suede they are sure to be a Triple Crown winner with dad. Plus, they have a padded footbed so you don’t have to worry about being on your feet as you cheer on your favorite horse. Moral Code has a great variety of dress shoes so you can transition from the office to the racetrack or meetings around town.

Rachel Pally Dress

Horse racing season is a year-round pursuit with millions of dollars at stake across the globe, but on Opening Day — at least in Del Mar — fashions may be talked about more than the betting. From big hats and heels, to dresses and suits, it’s time for your family to curate their best. Being 8 month pregnant and in the hot heat of July, comfort also factors into what I want to wear, which lead me the Rachel Pally collection. Rachel Pally is a mother of two who created and designs her clothing to make women feel comfortable, fashionable and beautiful. Her Kimono Sleeve Maxi Dress is an all-time best seller and is great for maternity or contemporary. I own a few from the Caftan collection and what is so fantastic is they can easily transition from day to night, or from work to play.
