Men’s Shoes to Wear to the Kentucky Derby
The 143rd running of the Kentucky Derby is this weekend (Saturday, May 6) and naturally, it has us thinking about shoes.
The horse race held each year on the first Saturday in May in Louisville, Kentucky at the Churchill Downs racetrack brings crowds in a specific preppy, colorful attire. The men often get just as decked out as the women for the occasion, donning pastel suits, bowties, and of course, great footwear.
Speaking of great footwear — Christian Louboutin makes a handsome lace-up shoe that would go great with an off-white suit for the event.
