A GOOD DRESS IS EVERYTHING
Heading to the races? Then here’s a reliable tip or two. Our guide on what to wear will help you master the style etiquette of the season’s most prestigious racing events – from Royal Ascot to the Grand National.
Race day is a chance to dress up in all your finery – just like you would at a wedding or formal occasion. At Ascot, the rules lean more strict, so make sure you choose a race day dress that has straps that are one inch or wider and falls just above the knee or longer. Think elegant, long-sleeved, floral midi dresses that keep modesty in mind.
If the day brings sunshine, opt for a lightweight layer like a bolero. Or if the forecast is looking rainy, wear a shower-proof trench.
Dresses not your style? Choose a chic co-ord instead. Flattering in fit and fluid in fabric, consider deeper tones like navy and brown that look just as good at sundown.
From playful prints to soft pastels, we’ve curated the trends most likely to be spotted at the races this year.
Have your Pretty Woman moment in indulgent hues and chic spots.
Beautifully understated, look to soft pastels and texture for timeless femininity.
If you’re wearing a hat or fascinator, be sure to check the rules. At Ascot, hats are mandatory and if you opt for a headpiece instead – it should have a solid base of 4 inches or more in diameter.
While you’ll want to give your look a little height, it’s worth bearing in mind that you’ll be on your feet all day.
Block heel sandals, court shoes or espadrille wedges stylishly blur the lines between chic and lawn-friendly, while our collection of clutch bags will add the final touch.
No occasion outfit is complete without a covetable clutch bag. Elegant in aesthetic yet practical by design, with detachable straps and handy internal pockets, they'll keep all your essentials neatly within reach.
So whether it’s soaking up the atmosphere trackside or embracing all the elegance at the Royal Enclosure, our style guide serves outfit solutions for every kind of race day.
