Joyce Locke, owner of Hatsational on Broadway in Saratoga Springs, said the store caters to every different type of style. That includes whether you are looking for something traditional or a bit more daring.

The boutique showcases a variety of designs, from wide-brimmed beauties to elegant fascinators. They ensure there is something for every person’s taste.

Locke’s collection is curated to match the vibrancy and elegance of the Belmont Stakes, she said. The event is all about standing out while maintaining a touch of sophistication, she said.

Sometimes it is good to start with the accessories and then move on to finding a dress, she said. It is difficult to find a hat that fits, so it may be best to find one that is comfortable and looks good.

“Buying the hat first is not a bad thing, because we can even suggest colors that go with it,” she said.
