It doesn’t happen often, but when the Kentucky Derby and Cinco De Mayo fall on the same day, it’s kind of a big deal. This year we are being blessed by a Derby De Mayo–and like an eclipse or leap day, this rare occurrence is not to be missed. Whether you love horses, tequila, day drinking or all of the above–you’ve got to get on board with Derby De Mayo and make it truly count. Plus, it’s on a Saturday this year. Soooo.

This curious amalgam surely makes for not only a wonderful drinking holiday-but a unique fashion opportunity, too. Just imagine it–all the tassels! The ruffles! The embroidery! The hat options. If you’re not giving this the best off-the-shoulder-tassel-embroidery dress moment, you’re not living your best life ever. There, we said it.

While it’s totally up to you whether you opt for a Derby hat or a sombrer, what we can offer you are the best Derby De Mayo dress options out there. I’m sure you’re wondering what to wear to Derby De Mayo, and we’ve got the answer:
