A Day at The Oaks: Fashion, Florals, and Fillies
There’s something undeniably enchanting about The Oaks. Held each year on the Friday before the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, The Kentucky Oaks is one of the most prestigious horse races in the country—and one of the oldest, dating back to 1875. Unlike the Derby, The Oaks is a race exclusively for three-year-old fillies and has become a beloved tradition known just as much for its fashion as its fierce competition. It’s also a day dedicated to women’s health, with a powerful pink theme honoring the fight against breast cancer.
At our boutique, we adore Oaks Day for its mix of meaning and style. It’s a chance to dress up in florals, flowy silhouettes, oversized bows, and every shade of pink—from soft blush to bold fuchsia. Whether you’re trackside or hosting a backyard viewing party, The Oaks is the perfect excuse to celebrate femininity in all its forms.
This year, we’re embracing the spirit of the day with a collection designed for twirling, toasting, and turning heads. Think garden party dresses, pretty prints, and elevated accessories for the perfect “Ladies Day” look.
Style tip: Pair your dress with a wide-brim hat or floral fascinator for that extra Oaks-worthy charm. Don’t forget a swipe of pink lipstick!
