What to Wear to the Races

Wondering what to wear to the races? From Aintree’s Grand National to Royal Ascot, allow us to unpick the strict dress codes of the occasion with five Ladies’ Day outfits for the season ahead. Think elegant cuts with a distinctly modern spin that guarantee to set you apart from the sea of spectators. 

 

 

1. Take the Gold 

 

Saturate your look with sunshine hues to draw all the right attention in the grounds of Aintree. Layered with graceful mesh, this embroidered midi dress leaves no question of length requirements and has a beautifully languid silhouette. Keep the look tonal and utterly on-trend with a matching disc fascinator, complete with chic veil.  

 

2. Show Jumper 

 

Take a fashion-forward stance at Cheltenham Racecourse in an ever-current jumpsuit. The one-piece is perfect for those who want to step away from tradition, and our deep-red design is a cut above thanks to its twisted neckline and flattering belt. For a day spent on your feet, a pair of block-heel sandals are the shoes of choice.  

 

3. My Fair Lady 

 

Indulge in a ladylike mood for the Epsom Derby with romantic botanical prints and the revival of the tea dress. Flouncing sleeves and a belted waist imbue this style with the utmost elegance, and kitten heels add the perfect complement. When print steals the show, choose a fascinator with a neutral shade in barely-there crin. 

 

4. Royal Blue 

 

With the Royal Enclosure being a no-fascinator zone, draw focus instead with crowd-parting block colour. Ascot’s most prestigious location calls for inch-thick straps, and this bold midi combines them with a Bardot neckline for a look that oozes modernity. Sharpened with a belt at the waist, there’ll be no mistaking your exclusive invitation. 

 

5. Winning Streak 

 

Make multicolour work for your Ladies’ day look with stripes of whisper-light mesh. Cut to an essential below-knee length, this style is perfectly pleated for sophisticated sway at every turn. When it comes to headwear, pick just one matching hue and revel in a flourish of feathers.
