What to Wear

Step into the style of racing’s golden era

Revival Row guests are warmly encouraged to dress in period-inspired fashion from the 1930s through the 1960s: Tweed jackets, driving caps, summer dresses, high-waisted trousers, leather gloves, or a simple silk scarf and sunglasses. Period attire adds to the charm of the weekend, but it’s entirely optional. Come as you are and enjoy the atmosphere all the same.

enjoy the thrill of the hunt

Vintage shops, thrift stores, estate sales, Etsy – even your own closet – can be great places to assemble a look, whether it’s a carefully curated outfit or just a small nod to the era. Many visitors discover that half the fun is hunting down the pieces. Of course, dressing up is completely optional — everyone is welcome to stroll Revival Row, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy the experience however they choose.
