2024 Kentucky Derby Guide | vineyard vines

In 1875, attendees at the inaugural Kentucky Derby® were witnessing the birth of a great American tradition. Now, as we saddle up for the 150th Run for the Roses®, we’re proud vineyard vines—the Official Style of the Kentucky Derby—has become as ingrained in this iconic event as the mint juleps, eye-catching hats and the first Saturday in May.

As always, our 14th Derby Collection pays tribute to the indelible icons of the Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports®. Whether at Churchill Downs or at home, we hope you enjoy the party as we celebrate this landmark running of the Kentucky Derby with the brightest colors, best fits and most fun you can have in fashion.
