  Men and women alike have been drawn to the race’s frivolities since the 19th century, each year upping the stakes and donning some of the year’s most unique and luxurious styles. Since then, racegoers have become just as interested in the contest of fashions on the lawn as they are in watching the horses compete on the turf. While fashions have come and gone over the years from controversial dresses hemmed five inches above the knees, to pant suits teamed with wide-brimmed hats and feathers, the event continues to capture the imagination of the public.
