Though we are still more than a month out from the Triple Crown, many of our friends up and down the East Coast are gearing up for everything from the Carolina Cup, to the Atlanta Steeplechase, to the Maryland Hunt Cup.  Though most of them aren’t huge fans of the sport (just being honest here), each and every one of them is a fan of dressing up, sharing a couple of cocktails with friends, and enjoying all that mother nature has to offer.  If you are in the same boat, and looking for a bowtie to complete your look for a day at the races, the Vineyard Vines Derby Silks Bow ($49.50) is a great choice.

Made of 100% silk, this bow draws inspiration for the most colorful thing at just about any equestrian event (spectators not included), the jockey silks.  With a patchwork pattern of white, pink, blues, and green, the Derby Silks bow looks great with a number of our favorite spring options, and certainly fits the bill if you are heading out to the Carolina Cup next weekend.  Even if you aren’t planning on seeing the horses any time soon, this bow is a fantastic way to add a splash of color to just about any look.
