Our first look is perfect for an afternoon at one of the Southern racetracks, like Keeneland, Turfway Park or Oaklawn Park. Bright pants and ties are the de rigueur for Southern racing; that’s why we started with this pair of eye-catching bottoms from Land’s End for $49, then added a pink Saddlebred button-down for $20 and a bright yellow horse racing themed tie from Simple Luxuries for $39.95. Add a $50 blazer from H&M, a pair of comfortable but stylish shoes for $24 by Steve Madden, and a pair of simple striped socks for $4.30 by Uniqlo.
