The Kentucky Derby has become known for its wacky fashion. So, definitely don’t be surprised if a few of these hats start to dominate your social media feed. These Kentucky Derby fashion memes and jokes will have you laughing all Derby Day long. Because seriously, when this many crazy hats show up at one event — there’s going to be plenty for the Internet to have a little fun with.

One of the most noteworthy headpieces in my mind is definitely the flamingo hat from 2016, but then again, Johnny Weir also came practically dressed as a magical pony, so it’s hard to pick a favorite. This year’s definitely got some doozies, too. There's everything from hats that double as umbrellas to hats that serve as your mint-julep cup holder — so at least these designs serve a purpose!

Folks are loving the Derby Day action on Twitter. People are posting photos of dogs in hats and joking that the Derby would be better if the horses wore the hats, so clearly, there's a theme here. Animals in hats for the win! Whether you’re lucky enough to attend this uniquely fashionable affair in person or no, it’s definitely nice to be able to get a sense of the experience through the posts online. Trust me, these Kentucky Derby fashion tweets will have you wanting to attend 2018’s Kentucky Derby IRL. Because I don't care what anyone says — Derby Day is all about the fashion.
