CONTEMPORARY CHIC

Dresses not your style? Choose a sophisticated jumpsuit or impeccably tailored trouser suit instead. Both are more than welcome at Ascot, however, suits should be of full length to the ankle and in a matching colour and fabric, while jumpsuits should fall below the knee and match the same regulations as dresses.

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.
