Dress like a Kentucky Derby pro with advice from a menswear expert
Head of Brand for Tie Bar teaches us how to dress for the Kentucky Derby
TieBar x Laura Ashley two men in stables

The first weekend in May annually hosts what many call "The most exciting two minutes in sports." Other than watching Greg Maddux run out a very rare triple hit by a pitcher back in the '90s, I have never heard anything in sports carry that same label. Ever since the grandson of the Clark half of the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled to Europe and gained a love for the sport of horseracing, the Kentucky Derby has captured the hearts and minds of race fans everywhere.
