Aiken Steeplechase Fashion Lets All Styles Shine
Donna Ritter of Clothes Cottage in Chesterfield describes the Aiken steeplechase as an equal opportunity fashion event. Spectators wear denim to linen and silk with tennis shoes to pumps, while hats fade as bronzed skin becomes desirable. Ritter notes hats are costly and many skip them, yet she wears a hat for horse events to shield sun and make a fashion statement. The mature crowd favors sport suits, slacks with jackets, or dresses with jackets. See FASHION, Page 10A.
