To really commit yourself into this look don’t forget to accessorize with gloves (to keep your hands warm in winter) and sunglasses (to block out the sun). You could also add some high heel shoes just for fun but make sure that they are not too pointy or else people might trip on them when dancing in front of the bandstands!

Luckily, the gents have an easy time with their attire too.
Gentlemen, you’re in luck. You can wear seersucker suits, bow ties and hats to your derby party. The ladies may have more options when it comes to their attire but gentlemen are just as stylish in their own way.
